...with students, in some of the South's institutions, far more eager to learn than are those Northern students who scarcely know why they are in college. The authorities would be found busy with the enduringly important first principles of education is such institutions, and not obsessed with administrative detail and petty refinements of method. This would be an experience of value to some of our Northern professors. And if they themselves taught, and taught finely, in their Southern chairs, they would have a large opportunity for correcting some of the notions that have grown up about New England...
...program of the Reserve Officers' Training Unit at Harvard as drawn up by Captain Cordier is comprehensive in every detail. Although many difficulties such as not interfering with the regular College curriculum had to be overcome, Captain Cordier has succeeded in rounding out a course of instruction which is far ahead of any similar scheme established at any other university. There is no doubt about the work in the training unit being serious. More time will be given to theoretical and practical instruction than was given to the Regiment last year, but undergraduates must realize that the country is under...
...play was exceptionally well acted in every detail. Miss Fulton, the author, lived the title role. Never once did she lose her grasp on character or audience.

Mr. Fay's "On Keeping a Diary" gives an impression of quaintness without affection, and abundance without waste. Of the editorials on the proposals of peace, the second is the more striking. The review of "The Backwash of the War" is interesting in its disregard of the important question whether...
...color and fragilely beautiful--and wonderful to hear--in laugher or tears Mr. Lawford is the perfection of case, distinction, and effectiveness--in him is a touch of the whimsy that pervades Barrie's writings. Mr. Herbert as the well drawn husband is powerful and real in every detail of voice and manner. The surrounding company is adequate--with the single exception of Mr. Mc Dougall, who is sadly out of his depth throughout...
