...second place, I should be grateful if the anonymous defender of those who suffer from "a sudden fatigue of academic honors" would explain his profound ignorance of the very nature of General Examinations.

It is a very narrow sheet of short waves that go around the earth like a ruff. They suffer the same troubles, in less degree, that the diffuse long waves...
...Memorial Theatre in "Take Me Home." A comedy of the chorus girl and the yokel boy-friend, this picture manages to be quite funny in spots, and at least has the pleasing feature of being constantly on the move. With no plot to speak of, the picture does not suffer as the cavortings of the Bebe and Joe Brewn suffice...
