Some one once calculated that it would take a man eighty-odd years, on the conventional four courses a year, to go through the entire curriculum offered by Harvard College. Whether these figures are accurate or not, it is obvious the four years of the ordinary undergraduate course are hopelessly inadequate for any man to go beneath the surface even in his chosen field. The modicum of A.B. learning,--"a great deal of knowledge about a good many subject"--is pitifully small when placed beside what could be done if there were "only the time". Most men have...
There has been much attention paid lately in your columns to the subject of the use of the Stadium for the Commencement exercises. This prompts me to answer some of the arguments that have been brought forward in opposition to the same. Indeed they are so obvious that I am surprised that they have not been thought of before...

"The Chocolate Soldier" requires the older type of acting, and fortunately most of the company recognized this regardless of the obvious efforts of the producer to instill a little "pep" into the performance...
...officially a Dramatic Number, but the amount of space devoted to matters lying on the far side of the footlights is not depressingly large. And singularly enough the best things, with one or two exceptions (notably the amusing opening ballad, which should be sung to the obvious tune by a Voice with straw in its throat) have little or nothing to do with "ther drammer" at all. The theatrical streaks are as a whole distinctly below the level of the non-Orphean layers. They reveal a tendency, from which the rest of the material is happily free, that has been...
...heads in the clouds; which is not exactly dignified. And it tempts one to invite them to come down to earth. We must not be construed, however, as implying disagreement with the ideas about censorship expressed. We think Clark University wrong in insisting on faculty supervision, and it is obvious that Williams has given undue publicity to the "Record's" fall. But the kept idealists of the "Nation" and the "New Republic" must have their fling...
