...Full of what?" retorts the ready but shallow sophomore. And that depends upon what you read. The Syraeuse University Bookstore reports that its best seller is Papini's "Life of Christ". A gentle raising of the critical eyebrow marks Harvard's reserved surprise at this announcement. In the CRIMSON Bookshelf for November the Community Bookshop states that Harvard's "great interest these days is in the works of the modern sophisticates, Mencken, Nathan, Van Vochten, Machen, Dreisen, and others, that stimulate the critical faculties...
From these reports it would seem that Roman idealism attracts the Syracusans. Indeed, it is not strange that an institution of learning which starts with an a priori preconception of truth should extend hearty welcome to Papini. "The massive brain and eagle eye" of the Methodist Church presides over the destinies of young Syracuse, and brings it up in the way it should go. Not only does this tend to promote among undergraduates that state of mind called "Fundamentalism", but also to attract embryonic Fundamentalists to its sympathetic bosom...

...rest there are several rather surprising inclusions and omissions. That Giovanni Papini's "Life of Christ" should have attained such heights of popularity in one scant year of existence is as revealing in one way as la the mention of "The Virginian," which is twenty-two years old, to the exclusion of any of Booth Tarkington's work; for example, 'The Conquest of Canaan," or "The Gentleman From Indiana." Dyed in the wool conservatives, however, may be cheered by the fact that neither "Jurgen" nor "Women in Love" were so much as mentioned...
