...impossible not to feel that this interpretation, though far more appealing than its antithesis, loses something important to the play. Hamlet's intellectual nature, or, as Coleridge has it, his habit of "calculating consideration which attempts to exhaust all the relations and possible consequences of a deed," is, after all, fundamental to the plot. In Mr. Evans, this side of Hamlet is not absent, it is merely submerged; but it has so become indefinite that one is actually not convinced when he says "Oh cursed spite that ever I was born to set it right!"

Robert Rhea unhappily admitted his dilemma and critics of the Dow Theory settled down to a watchful waiting...
However, even though Economics has been dominant for the last few years the tutoring staff is well balanced in other subjects and the interest groups are fairly all-inclusive. In contrast to the other Houses there is no regular tutors table, the tutors circulating through the dining room.
