...done the methodology would be much like that of mathematics, and even according to Dr. Mather's conception equally good training for the mind. But at the present time, except for a few isolated instructors, the Economics department fails to do this. Instead, the theories worked out in great detail by the most eminent economists are thrust before the student, and he is asked to memorize them. Whereupon, he proceeds to do so and waits hopefully for the exam. If he learns how to think and apply economic reasoning, it is only purely incidental to the main object of memorization...
...capital A has created this picture. Its photography is scusitive and interprets as well as records. The actors are particularly convincing in their parts and benefit from the absence of love glorified in the Hollywood manner.

It is in this exhibit that the startling simplicity and clarity of the work is best brought out, the infinite and delicate use of detail, and the extraordinarily expressive quality of the animals and other figures. Every one of the artists cooperating with Disney is a master draughtsman in his own right. The drawing is uniformly fine as is shown in the sheet of animal figures and in the background work for "Snow White...
