...such productions. Perhaps no play of recent years has so openly defied all dramatic fundamentals, for there is an incoherence which runs through the piece that even a prejudiced audience is not able to overlook. Had the work been done by novices, we might be more charitable in passing judgment, but such veterans as Victor Leon and Rida Johnson Young will certainly not enhance their reputation by such workmanship as this...
...altogether difficult to fathom the logic which gives Nassau an edge on Yale. As a matter of fact--basing judgment of course upon what has actually been shown--Yale has a much more varied offense than the Tigers, and a defence which is, I think, just as good. The Elis have done their share of fumbling, but they would have had to do more than their share to equal Princeton in this respect.

More serious attention...
...vocational guidance is at our door. Perhaps no greater work ever confronted a university than that of frankly and consciously organizing its machinery and methods for developing and molding the rich talent of its students and directing it into those branches of public and private service where sober judgment, trained thinking, moderation and capacity for intelligent leadership are essential. This is a service to the students incidentally and to democracy fundamentally...
