...problem seems to me to be whether or not this present Board of Regents has the capacity, competence and independence to make a judgment free from prejudice of a political or personal nature. The question before the board of whether they have confidence in the president; the question before the educational world and the people of your State is whether they have confidence in the Board of Regents...
...Helen Jerome's adaptation of the novel there are faults; in fact many errors of judgment. Considering the difficulty under which she labored, the metamorphosing of a nineteenth-century story into a vehicle that will appeal to the calloused audience of today, as a whole it is a creditable job. To make polished sentiment sound convincing to a sentiment-hating public is not easy.

Bomb Tokyo? Lead China? Tokyo's queasiest fear this week was lest Mr. T. V.

Lawyer Lesselbaum began sleuthing. Last week in Manhattan he obtained an order to show cause why Father Divine...
...Colonel Séverin, whose history is so involved that most of the 483 pages of Shining Scabbard are required to get it elucidated. During the Franco-Prussian War, it appears, the gallant officer was cashiered for contemptible cowardice. Now, in 1914, he is still trying to get the judgment reversed, meanwhile spending most of his time in bed, appearing mysteriously in good health after being reported dying, creeping through the halls at night, torturing Armand, until the boy faints, in an effort to free him of cowardice. His wife protects his delusions, nurses him, lies to her children about...
