Attracting audiences of 1,500 or so (mostly middle-aged women) to smallish Town Hall, Psychologist de Quevedo declared he would remain in Manhattan until his following would fill big Carnegie Hall.

As he always does, Dr. de Quevedo lectured sitting and .lolling on a table, and as always, called his listeners "darlings." So amiable, so vigorously sincere was Dr. de Quevedo's platform style, that his middle-aged female audience seemed well satisfied with the content of his message-mainly that will power...

Through the rest of the book, however, he does give about as copious a working-out of the satiric possibilities of his theme as could possibly be wished for, and while in some parts of this the creaking of the Capek brain is depressingly almost audible, in others-particularly those dealing with the grave...
...times, however, that the Placement Office, while leading a student right up to trough of employment, cannot get the job for him. Dean Plimpton's office will help him learn where his talents lie, and who is offering employment in that particular field, but it will still remain up to the student to do the rest...
