...counts, the variety of the lectures and importance of the lecturers, these open and closed addresses deserve greater attention. There must be one thing interesting in every one or they have no raison d'etre. If the student body has the gumption to read the Crimson notice column and the House posters, the lectures will receive the proper support...
...your left, please. Don't block the aisle. Keep moving, please. Fourth and fifth seats in. Up in the colonnade, please. . . .

Hell of a thing anyhow--having to usher on the Dartmouth side. Showing those belligerent guys to their seats. Almost afraid to yell for Harvard.

Many of the scenes of The Fifth Column would make hair-raising melodrama on almost any stage, and the nightmarish confusion in which the whole thing takes place is something new in Hemingway's writing. But it breaks off abruptly just as it gets well under way; Dorothy is such a dunce that an incredibly handsome actress would be necessary to explain her hold on Philip; big scenes-like the shooting of a captured German officer-take place off stage; and all Philip's long explanations of his reasons for aiding the Loyalists prove nothing except that...
