...Oklahoma! and South Pacific. Twenty-three years ago on Jan. 29, 1938, Kronenberger slipped into his first aisle seat for TIME, and promptly panned Erskine Caldwell's Journeyman, a kind of illegitimate son of Tobacco Road. No other TIME writer has manned a single section over a comparable span or filled his post with equal wit, grace and distinction.

For example, the Institute of Technology recently spirited physics and chemistry away from the liberal arts college, which critics contend is another dire step toward vocationalism. Liberal learning is so secondary that a business student spends only 18% of his courses on it, and a dentistry student only...
