...appointment of Professor John H. Williams as head of the Littauer School comes as welcome news to the undergraduate body, and particularly to the many students who have studied under his direction. Not only an able teacher in the highest sense that the term can convey, but also the holder of an important position in the Federal Reserve System, Professor Williams brings the new graduate school a wealth of experience which fits him peculiarly well for his task...

Anybody who takes the movies seriously will be fascinated by this page...
...recent pictures only "Camille" has a romance comparable to that in "Beloved Enemy." The actors convey an impression of intense love though outwardly they are restrained and indignified. To the mind of the reviewer the bicycle ride through the country is one of the finest and most tender love sequences of any movie. The highest praise is lavished upon the two charming and polished actors, upon the director, and upon the cameraman. They have made an unforgettable picture...
