...small number of students that can be admitted. The tuition fee of $75 per term is not nearly enough to cover costs. Consequently, total enrollment is only 125--actually the largest in recent years, because of an influx of 25 former Army and Navy chaplains, but low in comparison to the schools at Yale and Chicago and to Union Theological Seminary, affiliated with Columbia...

The Odets was done exceedingly well, but even at its best it offered nowhere near the range of expression in either acting or staging that belongs to Shaw's creation. From every conceivable standpoint "Saint Joan" is a high-water mark in Harvard dramatics. If you let it slip by without seeing it, you are depriving yourself of a rare...
