That this condition is unreservedly favorable is a moot question. Even that it is wholly true is open to discussion. If the four years spent at a college are to be considered as a training and preparation for life, it would seem that the more conversant a young man becomes with the different elements of the existence that he will have to lead, the more able he will be to cope with it. There is the added factor that many American universities are either in or near large cities, and urban life has never been conducive to fostering youthful fancies...
...Ames competitions, the drawing up, presentation, and solving of a series of moot cases on various subjects, are renewed every year in the Law School. All first-year students who are interested join some particular law club which is part of the Ames competition. Eight men, some of whom are carried on from year to year, constitute a club, while others are organized if necessary.

But the unit at Berkeley is the parent organization. An outgrowth of the College of California...
...minor love-story which does not obtrude upon the main theme. The story covers a period of some fifteen years, and for once the clothing of the characters is not anachronistic. The acting throughout is convincing, the direction good, and the general effect pleasing. It is a moot question, to be answered by psychologists, whether or not the ending was improbable. On the whole, the picture ranks high, as any of Miss Chatterton's must...
