Ostensibly the Union is devoted to a serious eight-week study of international relations. But Mrs. Hadden, who is thought frivolous by many of her serious-minded charges, provides a breath less round of teas, receptions, dinners, mountain climbs, trips...

...Freshman year, though now freed of the nightmare of elementary language courses, cannot be counted on, as at present organized, to fill matriculation gaps, let alone furnish an introduction, for the better prepared students, to work of university grade. And concentration, for example in a science, plus four courses in economics, or vice versa, may add a dubious passport indeed to the fellowship of educated men. Although the study made by Mr. Flexner of American universities showed a lamentable majority which thought that everything was as important as everything else, it will hardly be here denied that every subject permitted...
