This system is the most economical and convenient arrangement possible for the student who is really willing to learn; and tutoring bureaus will no longer be the only key to advancement if he has failed in the first part of German A. The very institution of the courses shows that the department is attempting to co-operate with him, and to make the road easier. But- and it will be best for the freshman to realize it now there will never be a "snap course" in elementary German...
...condemned, not because they were wrong in principle, but because they followed no principle save that of political expediency. Undoubtedly it is better to have Mr. Lloyd and his friends free to move their soap-boxes from corner to corner unchecked, than to keep them under lock and key. Highly volatile gases are far more dangerous confined than when allowed plenty of room for expansion.

Yet there is a topsy-turvy something in the play, a hinting at hidden meanings, which sets the key awry. What are the innuendoes of symbolism that seem to creep in, unexplained, from time to time? What lies lurking in the back of the author's mind, that he is unwilling to let us see? Is it merely the sense of a partness that "He" feels, the intangibility of the world and of his fellows, or is there...
