...Champ in "Undergraduate America Prepares" makes us feel very keenly the significance of the whole collegiate movement for preparedness. "I didn't know," the average Senior remarks, "that the University of California was doing anything in military training." That's just it. California is so far away that it is hard for us, in our restricted sphere, to see whether they are doing anything at all. We never fully realize the wide scope of a great movement until it is clearly summarized for us, as Mr. Champ has done in good fashion. Again, Mr. Champ in his exposition, "Harvard Tries...
...individual initiative. And yet it is by no means certain that some form of paternalism would not be desirable. The Quadrangler is not disposed to quarrel with those who assert that the average professor, with his exact mind and his curious notions of what the public ought to know, is ill-fitted to run a newspaper but he does contend that something ought to be done to insure the use of decent English in news stories and at least an attempt at a reasonable continuity of policy and purpose.

So if you are a young playwright like Mr. John Hunter Booth, the only thing that will save so innocent and helpless an offspring is dialogue, atmosphere, distinction, what you will. Mr. Booth's solution is evidently anticlimax. There is one end at the end of Act 2; another at the beginning...
