...perfect, not so warm as to make the playing listless and not so cold that spectators could not thoroughly enjoy every moment of the play. The seating arrangements could not have been made better. One took real enjoyment in the thought that he need not hurry to the game in order to get a seat, while the confusion saved and the satisfaction given to everybody, must have repaid the management for their care and inconvenience in the sale of tickets. They have started a custom which future managements can well afford to keep up. The singing of the Glee Club...
...fundamental idea, - the idea of love. This idea of love cannot be said to be Dante's distinctively, for it is rather the fusion of three ideas of love which he found prevalent in the world: - the Platonic love, or the desire of the incomplete to make itself perfect, whose ideal was the passion for pure wisdom and pure beauty; the Christian love, which finds its source in tenderness and infinite pity; and the chivalric love, typified by Dante's own love for Beatrice.

As we have said, this shifting policy is a bad one-it has proved so one, and yet this the policy again this year...
Granting that the system has succeeded better than was expected, it is still far from perfect and we fail to see how it can be extended to the whole hall. From the standpoint of those who after all have to eat there and bear the practical illustration of the experiment, the general table system is not desirable. But from the steward's standpoint - which is that the facilities are now overtaxed and cannot be increased - it is evident that something must be done...
