...Wynn, chief claimant to the title of the world's simplest person is now playing at the Shubert. There have been rival contenders for this position of honor in the past; Harpo Marx runs through a nifty exhibition every time he appears, but even he must make way for Dr. Wynn in the latter's special sphere. He was the "Perfect Fool" par excellence, and now he has out-perfected perfection if such is possible...

In 1927 the course was given by Professor George Lyman Kittredge '82, and in 1928 by Professor A. T. Davison...
...approximated by any formally organized American institution, and to which the nearest approach is the experimental school at Wisconsin. All regular courses are to be abolished and the efforts of the students at Utopia College will be directed to a study of Man--in his relation to the past, nature, society, and the world of thought. Particular intellectual fields will only be investigated as illustrations of principles...
