...following letter was sent out recently to all members of Psychology 9 calling attention to a serious mutilation of an important reference book by one of the members of that course.

...Britannica are not to be procured from the publishers, and cannot be picked up at the booksellers. To buy a new set, to reprint the missing pages, or even to mend the old pages if they should be returned and to rebind the volume, will be a serious expense, yet the Library must in some way repair the loss.

For those who prefer emasculated albeit musical Gilbert & Sullivan to no Gilbert & Sullivan, the production will serve. The plot, as all should know, satirizes Oscar Wildian esthetics...
...interruption caused by the war, there had been a steady growth in number of students and in the prestige of the School. But, as Dean Donham remarked when he took charge of the School in 1920, its success, in the terms implied in 1908, had created new and serious problems both of physical and personnel equipment. These problems have been met with remarkable skill and daring energy. The planning vision of Dean Donham and the wonderful generosity of Mr. Baker have combined to raise an edifice surpassing the dreams of those who drew the first lines less than twenty years...
