...trouble with the first 50 pages (and with the book) is Johnny Somers, the sole exception to the pattern. Johnny, the hero, is 21, shy, inexperienced, friendly, the sort of person to whom good-natured drunks confide their life histories, because he is too reticent to relate his own, too sympathetic to shut them up, and too polite to razz them. Like Eugene Gant in Look Homeward, Angel! and like a thousand other intellectuals in American fiction, he thinks in a scrambled poetic prose-The memory of her face had the time of sunlight upon...
Bingham could never lure a big name to Cambridge. He offers no salaries exceeding these of University professors, and, as publicity director Arthur Sampson points out, coaches generally consider the Harvard job the toughest in the country.

To complete my nomination petition my campaign managers approached only thirty-six students, none of whom were acquainted with...
...relations at a family Christmas dinner. While their neighbors gorge themselves on meaty courses like English 1 and History 1, the language beginners nibble ruefully on lean and rather unappetizing fare. The main obstacle to an improvement in their educational diet is the blind insistence on "reading" as the sole basis and final end of a study of language. This insistence narrows potentially broad studies to mere intellectual workouts. Yet the College requirement of a reading knowledge forces most undergraduates to take this program...
