...Shelley were living today he would do well to send his poems to the Criterion, for which they might be accepted, with much shortening and editing," the poet said. Mr. Eliot makes his home in London, where he is the editor of the Criterion, a literary quarterly, and has publishing interests...
...religion in his outlook, although he is very fond of the extreme modernists such as Joyee, said that he was sympathetic to only a few English poems of the Romantic Movement.

The award of Phi Beta Kappa keys based wholly or mainly on course grades has rightly, been criticized, for course grades are a superficial criterion of intellectual capacity. It is recognized that general examinations and honors theses are far more adequate tests of intelligent scholarship than course examinations and that the degree magna cum laude is the best official guarantee of a man's scholastic achievement. The Phi Beta Kappa Society has admitted this principle...
