...present performance at the Hollis of the great Sheridan classic compares with the famous performances of the past, this reviewer is unable to say, but it is hard to see how any comparison could redound very greatly to its discredit. To begin with, Basil Dean has given an exceptionally sane and skillful production. To quote his own words in a program note: "Upon the vast, bare, stage of the old Theatre Royal Drury Lane in the year 1777, under the fitful light of oil lamps and candles, without the aid of doors, ceilings, and the usual accompaniments of modern stage...

...plebiscite of graduates and undergraduates two statements--one by the CRIMSON and one by W. O. McGeehan, sports writer--has succeeded well in doing well what the anonymous joker who sent it evidently sought to do. It has thrown a cloud of misinterpretation and misunderstanding around a perfectly sane and frank statement by the CRIMSON of the proper relations that should exist between athletics and the College. One graduate Mr. J. M. Hallowell '88, who has been so misled, writes indignantly as follows...

...noticed on various occasions the name of the late President Woodrow Wilson ridiculed by university publications at a time when that name was most unpopular among the Italian students; but never was their language in any way discourteous or defamatory. I think, Mr. Editor, that for the sake of sane judgment, which is due to all men, including Mussolini, it would be will for our critic to resort to less ambiguity in his mad search for humor. Peppino Porfilio...

...these words seem the utterances of an oracle. Yet an oracle can have its tongue in its cheek, as Croesus discovered. Indeed, the sincerity of the editor of the jade journal for jaded tastes has long been a moot question. To assume the clear of a Machiavelli in serious, sane, and democratic America is to insure some notoriety. Mr. Meneken often prefer being exactly notorious to being notoriously exact. Perhaps the need of American politics is a manual of malfeasance, of the psychology of political pragmatism, perhaps not. For, although the Machiavellian side of political theory will always remain...
