...with some trepidation that the Faculty reviewer picks up an undergraduate publication called "The Harvard Critic." But this is different. It is not the Faculty that is the target of these critics. No a single member of the Faculty is held up to public contumely and two of the professors even receive honorable mention. Professor Whitehead's latest volume of philosophy is the subject of high praise by one of the editors, and Professor Henderson's course in the history of science is moderately praised by Mr. John Des Passes, which is very high praise indeed...

The contestants were hampered by a gusty wind which carried the light bombs off their course. The club gained another score when Fairbank finished second in the precision landing contest. The flyers throttled their motors at 2000 feet, circled down...
...more like a laboratory than a movie-house when it gave its first demonstration of the Western Electric Company's newest improvements in sound reproduction. Since then, there has been so much vague talk about "Wide Range" going around that you may have imagined the stage re-modelled for target-practice. To clear your mind of clay-pigeons, the Playgoer will have to resort to technicalities...
