...with books under their arms. Perhaps he had wandered into Widener to look at the Sargent murals and had seen and heard groups of giggling girls passing to and from the delivery room. He may even have carried his researches as far as the lecture halls and noticed the rare but real feminine presence in this or that course. Such may be the explanation of Harvard's maiden appearance in the society of coeducational colleges...
...casual observer might, indeed, come to this conclusion. A few years ago a female of the species, "homo studiens", would have been as rare and out of place in the Yard as a man in the lingerie department of Shepherd's.

The play is labelled "A Religious Tract in Dramatic Form", but although the description is just enough, it ought not to be allowed to prejudice anyone. The "religious tract" is a rare combination of uproarious wit, and preaching which is sometimes in deadly earnest, sometimes more than half in jest, and sometimes you can't quite be sure which. It is sufficient praise to the Copley players to add that such a piece loses nothing in their hands...
