...NATIVE ARGOSY-Morley Callaghan- Scribner's ($2.50) Last year Morley Callaghan of Canada wrote Strange Fugitive, and was promptly likened to Ernest Hemingway of Michigan for his brusque, compact style, intently modern. His characters, of middling low mentality; his incidents, grim and macabre in their humor, smacked of contacts as a newspaper reporter. This year Author Callaghan furthers his reputation by a collection of stories, one of which-far from the best-was included in The American Caravan (arty anthology). A better story is entitled "A Predicament," and concerns a young priest disturbed at confessional by a drunk...
...groups of houses so far built by this organization, namely Shaler Lane and Holden Green have met with a well merited popularity from faculty members and married graduate students.

But despite the fact that President Coolidge in 1924 appointed a Federal Oil Conservation Board which consistently recommended co-operation within the oil industry as a cure for over production, the U. S. tycoon is still a little nervous concerning production agreements...
...necessary to create a new society in Cambridge? What is there new in the situation that calls for such a radical step? The new element is the gradual evolution of Harvard from a compact New England academy in a quiet town to a cosmopolitan university within eight minutes of the center of an urban population of some two million souls. Harvard life has become diversified and shot through with every sort of human interest and divergent aim so that an individual student can see only a small portion of it all. He cannot see the woods for the trees. Life...
