...Stage is Set,* is not only a beautifully written history of the art of stage decoration but a Ph. D. thesis full of assorted bits of original research ranging from the itemized cost of production of a 15th Century mystery play ($1,000 to $3,000; to the bulk of a Sunday edition of the New York Times (459 sq. feet, 2 lb. 6½ oz.). To carry scholasticism still farther, the elaborate catalog of the present exhibition which Assembler Simonson and the Museum of Modern Art have published contains no less than six learned introductions...

Penney Co. with 1,471 units in 48 States...

The graduate students, whose interest is less direct, cannot be expected to eschew beer at meals in the tutorial cause; the bulk of undergraduates over twenty-one will tend to follow their example. In this manner beer will divide the houses, and in so dividing them it will assume a vast and obvious importance to which its own merit would never entitle...
