...Fine Arts 1e has jumped more than a hundred over 1937 when the course was last given. Music 1, a comparatively new course, has the large number of 178 students enrolled. These courses have evidently attracted many from the social sciences which have been losing ground in recent years...
...even such black marks as Mr. Larry Clinton's persistent swipings from Tschaikowsky can cover up some of the fine playing done this year both on records and in person by a great many bands.

David Niven has climbed another rung towards a well-deserved stardom. Miss Rogers does a fine job, even though the shadows of Fred Astaire and such triumphs as "Top Hat" and "The Castles" still lurk wistfully in the background. Director Kanin, newcomer on the movie lots, has given the whole picture a refreshing sense of everyday people in an everyday world,--a sense which too many pictures...
