...tutorial system, taken all in all, is moving ahead at just about as fast a rate as is healthy for it, but I believe that it will never work at its best until all undergraduates are relieved of most of their regular course requirements and all honors men made entirely free, that is, until course lectures, exams, grades, etc., are made optional as they are today for honors students in many progressive American colleges; until, in a word the undergraduate is made an independent self-educator...

Fast Life (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is a flagrantly foolish little picture in which Sandy Norton (William Haines) wins a big speedboat race with his coy fiancee (Madge Evans) sitting beside him and a large crowd cheering, in Avalon Bay off Catalina Island, Calif. Sandy is a young inventor and ex-sailor...
