...Fogg Museum, however, Mr. Warburg's financial help has been the small part of his generosity. His was the princely manner of giving that seeks no glory, but only the satisfaction of intelligent giving. There are few tablets in the Fogg Museum reminding visitors that this or that object was the "Gift of Felix Warburg," but if it were not for him the museum would probably not be there. His gifts were ready as they were needed, to pay a salary or expenses, to support and expedition, or make a timely purchase. And always his vast store of experience...
...separating at the dining-hall entrance, each hieing himself off to his own little group, is not an unusual one. Though the undergraduates and sometimes the faculty may deplore the condition, nothing is done. Inertia seems to have gripped everyone. Most of us are too lazy to rise to object...

In my day I used to combat the effects by thinking of something particularly ghastly, like boiled turnips. But now, with college food so good, you will have to think of something else. There is an ugly rumor, however, that a dish called Vienna "Lead" Roll is still being served...
...Adventure in Manhattan," second film, presents Joel McCrea and Jean Arthur in an entertaining piece, if one does not object to Mr. McCrea's poorly placed voice. He seems as over unable to express any natural emotions with his vocal chords. For the rest, the picture concerns a ring of thieves, a bright young play detective, and a somewhat befuddled girl in a plot which would have been improved by the presence of a mystery rather than a romontic male lead...
