...policy of an undergraduate newspaper is an intangible essence at best but out of the tangle of journalistic theories and idealistic pipe dreams that invariably permeate the atmosphere of any college daily, one fact makes itself obvious: namely, that in a University composed of many different schools and institutions to the total of eight thousand of more students, no opinion can be typical of the whole. The number of undergraduate dailies that have fallen by the wayside in the attempt to strike the "typical undergraduate opinion" is legion...
...attempt of nearly every modern newspaper to lead rather than to portray public opinion in its editorial columns.

...WOMAN OF IT-Clare Ogden Davis -Sears ($2.50). Though onetime assistant to Mrs. Miriam Amanda Ferguson, former Governor of Texas, Author Davis forgets whatever she may have learned of female politicians. Her novel contains the highly artificial story of a woman governor who sacrificed her politics for her man. Obvious, banal, stupid, didactic, the Davis style has all the anemia of a lady's home journal...
