...City Chap. A good many seasons back John Barrymore was helping people dismiss their troubles in a comedy by Winchell Smith called The Fortune Hunter.

He almost ignores the serious and thoughtful criticism of American life in general, and of college life in particular, now appearing in many college papers. In some of them, at least, vagaries have given place to direct and definite analysis. The Dartmouth, for example, has seized upon some of the salient faults of "this generation of ours." Says the Hanover paper: "We are the froth of the post-war wave. This generation of ours...
