...Dark Angel. Michael Aden's first play sustains that singular Armenian's record for tart diversion. For The Dark Angel was obviously written by Michael Arlen, despite the credit of the playbill to H. B. Trevelyan. The technic may be Guy Bolton's (who wove the structure, we are told) but lines such as "She always liked small hats," no one would write but Author Arlen...
They saw in his pictures the work of one who, having inherited by birth a robust spirit, acquired by industry a technic, has seen no reason to believe that restraint is a healthier quality than courage, that tone is a better word than color, or that sublety is a synonym for strength. "A picture," said the cold ones, "should be judged according to the terms of its own formula.

...faculties. Such regulation usually serves only to widen the gap between students and teachers and to give the undergraduates the sense that they are being "balked." By flatly recognizing that athletics are run on a system often, superior to the discipline of the college, by studying their technic, and applying it to their own methods, our faculties could more easily oust athletics from their present absurd position of primary importance. Admit the disciplinarian's point of view, and you admit that young men can only progress under very hard taskmasters or as slaves on the athletic field to a physical...
