Nevertheless, the College grants transfer credit, under certain restrictions, for work done at other colleges during the regular academic year. Such a system might well be extended to include summer study. Students would apply through the College departments for permission to take specific courses for credit at other summer schools. Each department would approve only those courses which were adaptable to the individual student's program. The system would draw upon Faculty members' familiarity with the quality of instruction in their fields at other institutions, and at the same time relieve University Hall of the responsibility of giving blanket approvals...

He had been praised enough to turn a man clear out of his mind. "More pains have been taken to spoil the fellow," said Sam Johnson, "than if he had been heir-apparent to the Emperor of India...
...technique. By itself "Pygmalion" is an excellent picture, yet at the same time an accurate and faithful reproduction of the play as Shaw wrote it. True, many scenes implied in the play are acted out in the movie, but no one can seriously criticize such amplification when it is done with the care and respect so characteristic of British films...
