...poet who finds his country pleasant, the world not wholly bad. Delicately, temperately, he writes of "Springtime along the Pennsylvania Railroad," "Tenement Children," "Keats," "Friendship," "The Lackawanna Ferry." A flowery hedge, a regiment of roses, the filagrees of a frozen brook?these lift his heart; and his eye is quick to value those exquisite banalities of everyday life that the gross cannot see, and the great have not time to write about. When he sings of the "Pony Express," "The First Steamboat on the Mississippi," "The Coming of the Railroad," he strains his note; these themes call for a larger...
...Workshop grew out of student enthusiasm for his course, "English 47," and soon attracted members from outside the Harvard enrollment. Young women from Radcliffe College and Boston Town joined in the productions, budding playwrights from other colleges took "English 47" as postgraduate work. Theatredom and the critics cocked an eye whenever the Workshop had something new to offer, and one Broadway producer offered a standing prize of $500 for the best Workshop play each year...
...keep us from drifting into the methods of Egyptians, of whom it is stated: 'Medicine is practiced among them on a plan of separation.

His new experiments indicate that the spleen can be transplanted in the case of certain lower forms of animal life, and perhaps in rats. Since the exact function of this organ...
Certain components of great opera audiences-though they have paid well for their plush stalls or rigid chairs, though a magnificent scene is discovered before them, though famed singers appear, deathless music plays-are nevertheless observed to close their eyes. Are they lamentable creatures? Poor dolts who have no eye for the noble, no ear for the exquisite? Long have they been so considered by those other operagoers whose eyes remain open. Not so are they regarded by Miss Leginska, English pianist-composer-conductor, whose opera written around Thackeray's story The Rose and the Ring is soon...
