...pictured in Bastian Lepage's sickly painting in the Metropolitan Museum. She was simply a innocent and gallant girl who said her prayers and did her duty even when it called on her to rescue a nation and die an abominable death. Up to this point, Mme. Farrar's creation is sound and historically accurate. And altogether, it may be said that most of the shocking details of the film may be laid on the adapter and not on the star...
...fail to appreciate the relation between the work and the man. The outstanding feature of President Eliot's leadership was his belief in the possibility of developing the individual and his invincible faith in the value of freedom as the great educator of men. His most important reforms--the creation of the professional schools, perfection of the three-year course for an A.B. degree, the development of the elective system--were all the result of keeping these ideals constantly in mind. In 1869, when he became President, Harvard College graduated one hundred and eleven men; when he retired...

The actor's conception of the part really cannot be praised too highly. In the first place, it is a role essentially suited to a great actor, not a star, but an actor. Though the play consists...
...creation of a volunteer force of raw recruits will necessitate a large number of officers, and these officers must be trained in schools similar to the unit established here. Members of the University, by joining this training unit, will be given the necessary instruction to fit them for commissions, and the advantages of such an intensive training over that obtained by enlisting in a volunteer force or in the militia are evident. Men who have an opportunity to be trained for officers should by all means render this more difficult service rather than enlist in the ranks...
