Much condolence is due the feminine voters of Bryn Mawr who have survived the gruelling and chaotic procedure of the May Day polling which, with its party politics and agitation, has evidently kept the college girls in a state of hectic suspense and turmoil. However, appearances seem to indicate that it is not the voters who bear the brunt of the burden of electoral vicissitudes. For from an account of the recent proceeding at Bryn Mawr in The College News it would appear that every May Day queen pays a price for her crown in shoe leather if nothing else...
...well for Robert Clarkson that his able efforts in the Chase Bank came to the notice of a discerning eye. In almost every efficient organization, however chaotic its workings may seem, there is one man, who may be the assistant cashier but who is more likely to be the president, whose function is to handle the controls.

With the well-told description of Von Dronte's early life the author skillfully disarms the reader of his will to disbelieve, and, having gained his confidence and credulity, he adroitly weaves his weird spell...
...aims "to tell the story, so far as I have charted its course, of two of the most remarkable poems in English, 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' and 'Kubla Khan.'" His chief guide in this hazardous and admirable journey is a notebook of 90 chaotic pages in which Coleridge was accustomed to scrawl the names of books which he had read or intended to read, ideas which he considered shaping into verse, recipes for ginger-wine and other paraphernalia of a profound and poetic intellect...
