...heckled by a shrewish wife, driven into the White House almost against his will, yet ostensibly he is just a backwoods politician with canny horse-sense and a flair for fence-sitting. None of the rampant idealism usually attributed to Lincoln colors the Sherwood-Massey characterization, and for that reason the play might be considered derogatory, but "unemotional" seems to be a better word to describe their approach. Well polished by a year's experience on Broadway, "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" is on its way to becoming an American classic...

In the undergraduate mind the Plan is still associated with the notion of "study" which the Bliss examinations represented. Although these have happily been abolished in favor of short essays for the same appealing prizes, it remains for the Chairman and the counselors to "sell" Harvard on the American Civilization idea...
