...taken English 12, picked up "The Copeland Reader" and browsed at random, or sat entranced under the spell of Professor Copeland's reading can have failed to realize his personification of Harvard's gentleman liness and scholarship.

The emphasis in the toboggan cars suggests a pattern of the Orient rather than Coney Island. So called "message prints" (letters of various sizes & colors printed on a lighter background) spell out such words as "It," "Cheerio" & "Je t'aime." Ticker tape on a black background careless of space and balance meets the requirements of graphic design. "April" in the modern sense is the view of struggling humanity from a 21-story skyscraper...
