...Brief scenes excepted, the play is most interesting where philosophically it is least so: in the first act where the situation is forged, where there is some of the clang of cloak-and-sword drama, where the words still fly upward. Thereafter, when they attempt to go inward, they suggest not a scalpel but an embroidery needle. Moreover, Fry is so unsimple with language that he can never really be complex about people. His deserter who sees himself "reduced to one dimension," has nowhere been raised to even two. Indeed, the cardboard flatness of Fry's scoundrel almost foredooms...

The instructors also suggest ways of organizing exam answers and approaches toward studying...
...statements. He has recognized the clear necessity of lengthened study arrangements during exam periods and he has indicated that the library will continue some sort of extension this spring. But the need for extra hours does not mean that the library should be open every evening and Sunday. We suggest that a compromise plan--were the Administration willing to take certain steps--could be just as adequate for undergraduate needs...
