...reflection on this spring's production to look askance on the Amusing, tuneful, pleasing, all the stock terms of reviewers may apply justly to it; but its content can be no more than training. If this field is to be the future one of the Dramtic Club, it must give up a position once unique and enter into competition with the annual plays, definitely billed as "shows", of the Hasty Pudding and the Pi Eta Clubs. They have filled adequately in the past the place of light stagecraft at Harvard; the Dramatic Club is becoming a somewhat superfluous third person...
...very intellectual but with a certain amount of native wit, kind-hearted and at times understanding to a degree which surprises one without it being improbable, the presentation is excellent. Mayo Methot as Florence Wendell--later Mrs. Fairchild--is scarcely less good, and, moreover, is exceptionally lovely to look at. And Mrs. Jacques Martin as the old nurse and general factotum around the apartment supplies much of the humor, and does it very acceptably...
...superintendent of the Culebra Cut of the Panama Canal, blasting and steamshoveling his way through mountains. To look old enough for the job he grew a beard.

And the room was violently foreign, with frescoes by a sign painter−or a barn-painter: Isola Bella. Fiesole, Castel Sant' Angelo. But Sam did not look at them. He−who but once in his life had attended a Rotary lunch−looked at the Rotary wheel, and his smile was curiously timid. There was no reason for it apparent to him, but suddenly these banners made him feel that in the chill ignobility of exile...
...schools, the colleges are, if not entirely, at least partially to blame. The old and reiterated cry against the rigidity of the required entrance examinations has in it more than a measure of truth. At the same time it is undeniable that the schools themselves have failed to look beyond mere set requirements, many of which, in the light of modern educational investigation, have been shown to be of little value in developing the boy either for continued work in college or for life...
