...Code which the industry has recently formulated under Board Chairman Eric Johnson was promulgated under these pressures and it makes a sharp departure from the strict provisions of the old Code. The new Code now defines as its criterion "the limits of good taste." That the industry should so repudiate its old standards on the grounds of the success of the banned films indicates a sharp break with the several pressure groups who largely formulated the old Code. The industry has realized that the American public is not so puerile as the Legion of Decency or the American Legion would...
...patient whose heart is about to be bared and repaired is Mr. Arcularis, originally the sad, gentle hero of a taut, understated Conrad Aiken short story which first appeared in T. S. Eliot's Criterion in 1932. Fourteen years later, dramatized with the help of British Actress-Writer Diana Hamilton, it achieved a four-week run in London. Now, still haunted by what the play might have been, Pulitzer Prizewinner Aiken has performed the dramatizing operation all over again, this time singlehanded, and with excellent results...

But if there is no overt expression of belief, if we are indeed what Van Wyck Brooks ('08) calls "the silent generation," then the task of formulation becomes doubly difficult for the eccentric minority not adapted to anomie. Criterion can hope to eliminate this secondary problem, although it is not likely to have much success with the first, better minds having already spent their better years in better journals with the problem...
...Criterion", according to its statement of purpose, "provides an open forum where students at Yale can learn how their contemporaries are attempting to formulate values for living." Unfortunately, it is just as methodological as the words indicate. Of three articles in the first issue, only one--by a divinity student--professes any belief. The other two are rather ineptly devoted to the arguments for belief, and analysis of techniques used in arriving...
...Criterion will be a good thing only if it arouses violent criticism, and stimulates the expression of anatgonistic conceptions. If Criterion induces the Yale undergraduate (or anybody else) to spend a little less time in his blue sweater and a little more in introspection and verbalization, it will be a good thing. If, however, it leads the contributors to the self-satisfied assurance of "having been published," it will be a real misfortune, for the material as such warrants no such conplacency on the part of either authors or editors...
