...group insulation. Thus a very large part of the value of study abroad must disappear, for one may hear mere lectures delivered in French as well in Cambridge as in Paris. Educational critics have long attacked the self-consciousness of the American student abroad, and his unfortunate tendency to establish an exclusive colony of friends in a single pension. Such a project as the present one, which contemplates the enshrinement of this separatism in a luxurious setting, can scarcely seem will advised...
British Plan. In its 10,000 words the British Plan, submitted in the form of a draft treaty of 96 articles, proposes: ¶To establish parity in home effectives (soldiers under arms) among France, Germany, Italy and Poland on the basis of 200,000 soldiers each.

The tutors are probably more interested in the idea of undergraduate education and more conscious of their part in it than the men of almost any other department...
...excess of advertising comment, would make it one of the best on the air. Greta Keller has started making U. S. records. Best one so far is "Willow Weep for Me" (Brunswick). But her talent is wasted on stereotype jazz. With her warm, persuasive voice she can establish a dozen different moods. Critics have spotted her as an ideal performer for any brewery which, in the next year or so, decides to do its beer advertising with leisurely, old-fashioned melody...
