...late in the year appeared Thomas Hardy's "Human Show, Far Phantasies, Songs, and Trifles," a book of poems which, though chiefly written late in his life show that this very great writer still has undiminished strength and beauty of expression, quiet wit and sometimes grim but always sympathetic outlook. John Masefield's "Trial of Jesus" is a dramatic rendering of the gospel narrative, using largely the biblical expressions in a manner which is decidedly interesting. As acted in Masefield's own small theatre it is said to have been moving and impressive. Cameron Rogers has compiled an interesting...
Gregory Mason, the organizer of this expedition, has made two previous trips of Yucatan and has written many magazine articles and a book on this region. In 1912 and 1913 he did newspaper work for the New York Evening Sun.

Before the World War he undertook political and economic investigations in Yucatan, Mexico, Russia, Asia and the Far East. During the war he was outlook correspondent in the Argonne and Meuse campaigns and later...

Some eastern colleges in limiting enrollment, says the Outlook, are legislating directly against being swamped by people who come to college merely because to do so is to follow the popular cry; but the great majority of less significant universities, continuing to take all that come, do find themselves surrounded by unavoidable embarrassments...
...evident that the editors of the Outlook have made the not uncommon mistake of confusing general cultural education with professional preparation. These eastern universities which have limited their numbers make no attempt at preparing the undergraduate directly for life, leaving that task for the graduate schools; but unlimited institutions, particularly the great western universities, have adapted themselves, by including professional courses in undergraduate curricula, to the student who cares nothing for his general development. Thus a student who has entered college only because everyone else is doing it, without much purpose of broadening himself culturally, has access to undergraduate courses...
