...first system for which renovation of some sort is desirable is the manner with which Faculty advisers guide freshmen at the outset of their undergraduate careers. I should say, rather, fall to guide. There seems to be an idea that the freshman year, with its full quota of prescribed courses, is rather a waste anyway and is not deserving of serious attention. The advisers, consequently, explain as briefly as possible the methods of distribution and concentration, fill up the freshman's cards with all the elementary courses it will hold, and dismiss the young man with the conviction...
...Shubert, it makes one wonder how the average musical comedy can be stomached. For right in the score of "The Mikado" there is tunefulness enough, fun enough for anyone. When these are nicely manicured and exhibited in the typical Winthrop Ames manner, they form an extremely rare sort of entertainment...
Gilbert and Sullivan is a standard vehicle for amateur productions of one sort and another, and in them the words are usually so mangled as to defy recognition. In fact there may be some who have been so soured by one that they have no desire to see this. Try it once more and be converted.

In fact it is a little too much when both male and female choruses enunciate so clearly that even the patter is distinct. But it is Since, the lyvles...
...peculiarities of response to subject matter." They must not learn by rote. In disparaging this latter method, which he finds still all too prevalent Dr. Dewey has said: "Much work in [an ordi-nary] school consists in setting up rules by which pupils are to act of such a sort that even after pupils have acted they are not led to see the connection between the result?say the answer?and the method pursued. So far as they are concerned, the whole thing is a trick and a kind of miracle...
...life and letters of Walter H. Page, Wartime ambassador to England, were worthy best sellers. That a third volume should now appear, antedating the others in subject matter, suggests the frequent publishing ruse of selling a dull re-hash on the strength of the original success. Nothing of the sort is true in this case, partly because of Burton Hendrick's studied sense of the dramatic, mostly because of the essential fullness of Page's life before he ever thought of ambassadorship. From cub-reporter in St. Joseph, Mo., he rose rapidly to New York newspaperdom, managed and edited...
