...detachment, and skill. There the story is, layer within layer,--all distinct and complete. The peasants, the bureaucracy, the poet, the dullard, the maniac, the woman are almost ocularly visible, lightened a bit specially by the irony of title and touch, but real as they must be in their local habitation. "Patriots' All" is the best story I have read in any magazine in months...
...fault of Harvard graduates that their confidence in the Alma Mater's superiority never permits them to explain her advantages. But because her advantages are so well understood by them is no assurance that others understand. Harvard needs the southerner and westerner. Unless she is to dwindle into a local university she must recruit more of her sons from the great regions beyond New England. They bring a new point of view which stimulates her own.

Two blocked University punts, some neat forward passes by Brown, and a wonderful Brown back field were the causes of the score. In this game the lack of team-work was most clearly evident. As Individuals, the team put up a great game, but the polish shown by former University teams after a long season of careful training was missing...
