...build up a Radcliffe tradition. She had chestnut hair, in long braids; she had large, low heeled, button shoes; she had cotton stockings. She wandered into the library like the witch of Endor and enquired if the lost volume of Kant had been returned. She raised Christian eye brows when a student said, "Hell."

Sirs: The picture of a stuffed dodo (TIME, Sept. 14, p. 40) is, to the writer's untrained eye, much like a stuffed restoration of the dodo which is prominently displayed in the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh.

Close examination of facts, candid criticism of existing conditions, sound suggestions for improvement all these factors make the report a notable...
...Copley Company has opened its season with "Tonight Or Never", a play by Lili Hatvany, which stood the acid test of Broadway for many months. It needs only half an eye to discover the causes for whatever success has accrued to the play. The Boston presentation is characterized by imaginative and intelligent treatment at the hands of both director and cast, every opportunity that the script offered for straight drama and light comedy being seized and exploited...
