Every century that produces poetry is, so far, an artificial century, and the work that seems to us to be the most natural and simple product of its time is always, the result of the most self-conscious effort. Believe me, . . . there is no fine art without self-consciousness, and self-consciousness and the critical spirit are one. Intentions...

But this unparalleled popularity, evinced by desired participation on the part of more than one-third of the student body, and the undisguised pride in its achievement by the entire college, is not the product of sudden success, nor even social...
Last season's production, "The Isle of Surprise," an oriental melo-farce with musical accompaniment, marked the zenith of the club's achievement. It was presented 26 times before packed houses throughout the country, and earned the sincere commendation of press and public alike. The piece was purged of every vestige of professionalism: it was an undergraduate product from start to finish, Student efforts in the field of acting, singing, dancing, coaching, playwrighting, composing, orchestration, designing and execution of scenery and costumes, creation of electrical effects, financial management and publicity placed a smooth and meritorious production before more than...
