Every institution of higher education must have a Problem; if none is apparent one must be invented. Dartmouth's problem--so says the New Student, a symposium of college opinions, concerns aesthetics. Mr. Percy Marks, who is still striving to live down "The Plastic Age", has broadcast his opinion to the effect that Dartmouth students have thrown off the shackles of the "sweatshirt period" only to sink into the toils of dilettantism.

The interviews he had obtained were "incidental," simply the result of his "reportorial instinct." (The visiting reporters nodded, impressed.) He had flown about Europe, seeing Lloyd George in England, Briand and Caillaux in France, Mussolini in Italy, Pilsudski in Poland, and the onetime Kaiser himself at Doom.
