...problem in itself, Elementary physical chemistry is extraordinarily hard to teach, particularly so when only a meagre mathematical training is required of the students. Dr. Wilson has done well in his first year, and will undoubtedly improve. The lectures are well delivered, but not in all cases clear. The laboratory work is interesting, but in some cases, qualitative experiments should be replaced with more quantitative once. Chemistry 16 is far more satisfactory, as professor Kistiskowaky, more thoroughly familiar with the material, and able to approach it from a more advanced point of view, makes his lectures clear and absorbing...
Kohler extraordinarily good lecturer fast, clear, well-organized. Kistiakowaky. Good not quite as clear as well organized. Lamb--interesting but hard to take notes on, MacDougall--Clock--excellent organizer. Baxter--good influence--complete lectures on dull material. Forbes--learned--boring lecturer--pleasant to meet--too much. German makes advanced inorganic grim. Jones--helpful--lectures well. Bartlett--Advanced course excellent--lectures in B dull-good advisor. Fieser--lectures best in the department--genial but poor adviser. Jacobs--lectures coordinated but uninteresting--improving--willing laboratory assistant. Helpful younger men--Lundstedt, Swift, Tamblyn, Dunn, Avery, Tuemmler, H. T, nd. R. B. Thompson...
...Faust pretty Hilda Burke made a pathetic, simple Marguerite, used her small voice conscientiously but not tragically. Leon Rothier, a veteran Mephistopheles, had most assurance and most art. Good-looking Donald Dickson made his Metropolitan debut as Valentine. Even nervousness could not rob him of the strong, clear baritone and fine dramatic sense that first made scouts notice him when he was a Pennsylvania steelworker...
...psychic—a term which is itself a hallowed souvenir—who tries to solve a murder by making the twelve possible suspects hold hands in the dark. Things look bad for Nell O'Neill (Madge Evans) when John Wales (Henry Daniell) is stabbed at the seance, but clear up when, at the next psychic session, Dick Crosby (Thomas Beck) uses lampblack to prove that naughty Dr. Mason (Charles Trowbridge) was not holding hands. The Thirteenth Chair still saves a septuagenarian shiver for the moment when Madame La Grange reveals the murder knife stuck in the ceiling, but as dramaturgy...
Early in his essay, Editor Armstrong makes it clear that his warning is against all autarchs. Red Stalin as well as Brown Hitler or Black Mussolini. And his rallying cry is to all democracies, to consolidate their national thinking and their honor against the spread of autarchy. He does not call for war: "The liberal states could fight, might win. But could their liberalism survive the wartime curbs that would be prerequisite to victory and the new waves of economic deterioration and social disorder that afterwards would overtake the victor along with the vanquished? Hardly. . . . The call...
