...itself, but this it is usually slow to recognize. No more potent factor has appeared in the raising of standards of taste in the community of the University, than Dr. Davison.

...give the second performance of "Plots and Playwrights," by G. E. Massey '15, in Agassiz House this evening at 8 o'clock. The play, which is written in two parts and an introduction, after the same fashion as "Between the Lines," the Craig Prize play, is a satire on popular playwrights. The three scenes which make up the first part are laid on different floors of a typical New York boarding house. The second part is the popular Broadway playwright's telescoping of these three scenes and is a keen satire on some of last winter's New York productions...
