...excellent casting, and by the finished performance of the entire cast, which is ably led by Miss Pauline Lord and Mr. Walter Connelly. All the characters are idealized; they represent the antithesis of nondescription, and embody, impressionistically, all the qualities which their respective types are expected to possess in real life, but never...
Residents of single and double suites in Lowell and Dunster House may be disappointed to find that their rent charges have not been reduced proportionately to the cuts made for similar rooms in the 1931 Houses.

...showed up well on pass defense, and Bill Clark, Sophomore halfback, got off some splendid kicks. Sammy Fishman, flashy Hanover quarterback, looks as if he would provide some real trouble for the Crimson players once he gets loose in the Stadium, for the Malden boy has shown himself to possess all the qualities of an eel so far this season. The Indians meet Pennsylvania this afternoon, and neither team is conceded any particular edge...
