...neither children to follow the rowdy trend, nor prematurely old, to withdraw completely. The Harvard group may be heterogeneous, and we are proud of it and attempt to become more representative of the U.S., but anyone of us might have fitted into the so called "Joe College" life at Cornell or Pennsylvania, for example. There is no reason why a Harvardian should experience the feeling that within limits, the normal activities of any college are beyond...
...Life has become a round of round-tables. Life has become a regiment of conferences which squat obtrusively on every space of the college calendar from the beginning of the year until the end. There was plenty of room in the cyric three springs past when the H.Y.P conference cracked its shell, for it was a lone eagle of a sort.

Yet about this skeleton has been built the flesh of humor, and into the whole has been breathed the breath of life by fast-paced direction and some excellent acting by the principals. Novelty; too, enters, for there is an interesting portrayal by Sam Jaffe of Kipling's celebrated water-boy; and Mr. Kipling himself even pops into the picture on occasion. The film is entertaining, and far better than the latest...
