...help give Cal's commuters a campus spirit, Sproul sponsors monthly "University Meetings" in the gym or the Greek Theater. He invites V.I.P.s in education, sport, politics and military affairs to headline the bill (top drawing cards: Philosopher John Dewey, the late football coach Knute Rockne).

The dialogue bears the dewey stamp of the auld sod; the characterizations are revealing without being talkative; and the scenes are put together to make sense, not to elicit sentiment. The widely varied personages are portrayed with a concentration of acting that make each distinctive. The film strains the emotions, but, thanks to British restraint, net the imagination...
