...Gaumont-British has done a creditable job, and undertaken, with measurable success, the difficult task of reanimating scenes from the past. Nova Pilbeam, the new GB star who plays the part of Lady Jane, may not be a finished actress, but she has a quaint, old-fashioned charm which seems eminently suitable. Cordie Hardwicke, as the ambitious, cold-blooded Warwick, makes an evil geni of convincing unamiability. The supporting cast is of high calibre, thus insuring against any let-down in the minor, transitional scenes...

...taken as a summary of Professor Morison's monumental history of Harvard of which three installments have now left the press.
