...Tutors and with as comfortable and agreeable surroundings as the Houses would afford" may not be as healthy as it is agreeable. It would be well suited to prep schools or graduate schools or any other highly specialized institutions. It would indeed produce a highly specialized sort of life, like that in the English universities or the small colleges in America. Indeed it seems that college life is inevitably too specialized, and that one thinks quite naturally of the students in the different colleges as leading one kind or another of very unnatural lives--except at Harvard, which is notoriously...
...director of "Love, Live and Laugh", the present offering at the Keith-Albee, is one whose work we should like to see more often. In a movie whose plot depends upon the now rather shopworn world war, he has built up a suspense altogether foreign to most movies of today and managed with rare ability to sustain interest to the end.

The rest of the plot has features...
Another Big Business errand last week took President Hoover to the great brown-panelled hall of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce across Lafayette Park from the White House.

S. legal activities within the Department of Justice. For himself he asked little-removal by Congress of the present restriction which prohibits the Department from employing as a special assistant any lawyer who in his private practice is prosecuting...
...should like to take exception to Mr. Cohen's statement in Wednesday's CRIMSON that "Mussolini is conducting in this country propaganda foreign to our ideals." Being an Italian-American and in favor of the Fascist movement in Italy I have become nauseated with the repeated gibes and attacks made against a friendly nation without palpable proofs of any kind. I am led to think that those who utter such flimsy assertions act either through malice or dark ignorance...
