...carefully, even agonizingly selected that House themselves. But, confined by distribution quotas required by the University, the subjective elements can wield only small influence. They can be only small oases in a desert of mechanical necessities. But a desert without any oases at all is terrifyingly barren. What better proof can be offered than Yale...

The author is in the ridiculous position of a man who, in all good faith, has written a good, sound, playable five act tragedy about a Scandinavian prince whose father has just been murdered by his uncle...
