...Guild's outdoor exhibition was meant to show Sculpture for the Garden, this was apparently meant to show Sculpture for the Home. Sculptor William Zorach's Youth won a great deal of admiration for its clean-cut and subtle modeling; Robert Cronbach's well-constructed little group Industry, and Warren Wheelock's exuberant figure of Walt Whitman, Salut an Monde (see cut), showed a new ease with planes and masses.

Hence, the Dramatic Society is in a totally different...
Harvard's group must turn elsewhere for its reason for existence. One important function is the production of undergraduate plays; but lacking suitable ones, it still serves a purpose by staging other unusual or interesting works which might otherwise go unproduced. A second function is actual experience, otherwise unavailable at Harvard, in acting, producing, and stage setting. A final and not most unimportant purpose, according to Sir Cedric Hardwicke, is recreation--dramatics for the love...
