...prestige as the oldest of American universities, Harvard has always been recognized as the one large institution of higher education where all individual social units minimize their own importance and influence in the interests of a larger and finer whole. One may say without any spirit of pomp or pride that membership in Harvard University is an end in itself and all the component parts of the community yield to its superiority. It has become almost a can't phrase to refer to Harvard as the exception which proves the rule: the rule being that fraternal organizations are essential...

...Philip Hale, the attendance at performances of such New York producers as Guthrie McClintic and Kenneth MacGowan, and the subsequent production of three Dramatic Club plays on Broadway are convincing evidence that the Dramatic Club does have some influence on the American stage. But those who should take most pride in this fact ignore it, the spectators at the Club's performance consisting twenty percent, of students in the University and eighty per cent of outsiders. Harvard's only dramatic contributions are being received apathetically by the under graduates and though the Club may do its best, little of value...
