...minute effort to get a course into his head; it is rather the desperate attempt of the average student to find some order in the chaos which a series of disorganized and pedestrian lectures leaves him. I can speak only with authority as to my own experience in the English Department in the years 1933-37. It was significant that in the well-taught courses--for example, those of Professors Kittredge, Greenough, and Murray--virtually no student had any need or desire for tutoring. It was rather in such courses where a tremendous reading list was supplemented not with exposition...
...they should have some knowledge of Greek culture and yet cannot afford three courses, the Classics Department should make some provision. While reading Greek in translation is appreciation second-hand, it is better than none at all. A course in the Intellectual and Literary History of Greece, given in English, would be a great help to those low-ante men.

S. appetite, Disney announced he would withdraw the English version from U. S. circulation...
Margery Sharp is a bright-eyed, diminutive, facetious English girl whose The Nutmeg Tree was a surprise best-seller two years ago. As a followup, Harlequin House is less surprising; it tells a bouncing, bubbling, frankly inconsequential story about giddy Lisbeth and her shiftless brother Ronny, with Lisbeth managing four men at once in a campaign to reform Ronny who had spent six months in jail for somebody else's racket...
