...that it is theory-ridden," declared Ernest Barker, professor of Political Science at Cambridge University and present lecturer of the Lowell Institute, when interviewed recently. "Italy and Russia, for example, are having industrial systems imposed upon them, a situation which I do not favor. When I regulate my life, I prefer to do it otherwise than by an inflexible economic doctrine stamped upon...
Critics delight to dwell upon the alleged stereotyped form of modern education. They deplore the lack of "contact" of college courses with the current life of the time, saying that there is need of a keener recognition of the changing effect of world events on the subject-matter.

...slough of human passions. The human types chosen to epitomize extant evolutionary types are the horse-faced woman of London society; the young aviator who just misses loving his machine more than his woman; Martha, earthy female; Patrick, vivid sensualist in restless search of the meaning of life.

Lost in the eerie privacy of a London fog, Ann and Patrick recognize that their life-long friendship is love, the real thing. Lest they shatter...
