There are "characters" and clowns aplenty abroad on the Cambridge scene who are notorious as such and whose careers have been nothing but slightly sublimated vaudeville shows. These Mr. Cromarty may well attack with a barrage of personalities since they offer no other qualities for consideration, but the article at hand does not deal with such a person and is, as a result, altogether deplorable. The author evidently realized his lapse from propriety both academic and journalistic when he signed himself discreetly with a nom de plume. Such anonymity must be deserved...
...farm the former grand opera star will never sing again even for her own pleasure or to call the cows home to be milked as the evening sun goes down behind the Kansas hills.

A working plan of study is as essential to the most distinguished honors...
...lack of an established program for the chosen few proves the pit-fall it threatens to be, the Fellowships may develop into a state of affairs similar to that reached by the Dean's List. It is this happy medium which insures a freedom for individual study and at the same time provides a less ephemeral form of attack than that afforded by a complete lack of organized study...
