...last Report, President Lowell wrote: "There is now intention of gradually substituting tutorial work for courses of instruction.... They must by experience be woven together into one fabric, not inharmonious but each dependent for its best results upon the other."

The engines are placed in tandem, with...
...vaudeville experience of J. C. Nugent is usually visible through the fabric of the manuscript. His lack of simplicity and directness of attack on a full-length play diffuse the cumulative effect. His playing is characteristic. Elliott Nugent contrives miraculously to look and talk in a manner actually reminiscent of college boys. Ruth Nugent is pretty and Mary Shaw gives a notable performance as the Irish cook...
