That advising does not correspond to this rosy design is woefully apparent to the student who has received little more than a grunt and a signature from his academic guardian. But even more apparent is the fact that advising cannot be abandoned. The majority of undergraduates needs the stimulation and guidance which good advisors can, and in a few cases do, give. Granting the difficulty various departments face in finding men capable enough to carry out an ideal program, insufficient attention has been given to the appointment and reappointment of advisors.

They get a lot of belated advice from their lawyer friend (Melvyn Douglas), and they go into a huddle with an architect (Reginald Denny) who is willing to design practically anything-at a price. Before their homing instinct comes to roost at last they have been put through the wringer by practically every type of swindler involved in, or parasitic upon, the building trades. Blandings saves his neglected job by the skin of his teeth; and for a time even...
