...that successfully understroked the Princeton varsity by as many as four beats and still took them by three quarters of a length. With their usual long power stroke they had little trouble with Princeton. However, too much credit cannot be given to the Middies, because the Princeton crew has neither the material nor the ability to be placed among the leading contenders for the rewing title of the East. In trials they have been taken by the Tiger freshmen...
...Europe he adds a split to the already dual personality of Rosten and Ross, in a glib, neatly joined short novel about a foreign correspondent. Laid in Belgovenia, it covers the adventures of Peter Strake and girls in an abortive Putsch, drips conversational tinsel like a Christmas tree, is neither standard Ross nor Rosten. As one character says: "It's like a cross between Graustark and the Arabian Nights, written by E. Phillips Oppenheim." Authors McCutcheon, Scheherazade, Oppenheim might object, but to most readers Dateline: Europe will seem like a versatile slip which can do Author Rosten no harm...

No, I hardly think that an outstanding faculty like that of our University could be interested in merely training people to answer certain specific questions culled from examinations of the past...
...Museum of Fine Arts until May 14. This collection, containing more than 400 separate pieces, is a sparkling example of the varied and divergent possibilities of the water-color medium. There are so many high-points of artistic value, so many outstanding examples of potential greatness, that it is neither just nor adequate to compress the exhibit within the rather arbitrary bounds of a brief review. However, one aspect of the collection which is surprisingly odd, yet quite pleasing is the fact that some of the better-known artists, Benson, Macknight, Homer, and even Sargent, lose the lustre of their...
