...like the bedraggled murderess at the scene of the crime or like Mary, Queen of Scots. Yet the baroque stumblings, wrist-wavings, jaw-droppings, head-wagglings with which Miss Nazimova documents Doctor Monica seriously involved Manhattan audiences in a play that should have been a dull and outdated feminist tract...
Through all the irrelevance of this apology, through all that has been said and thought of her, one clear fact emerges: each of her books has been a landmark, although on many different courses, and each of them offers, along with her tract "How To Write," a sufficient support for its own art. Many individual pieces are partially meaningless to us; no one person has made his own every facet of her achievement. That their logic is architectoric rather than progressive may make critical formulae inadequate but cannot serve as a serious challenge to the work itself...
Other colleges provide parking space for their student bodies, and in Cambridge, where the garage accommodations are obviously insufficient to the demand, the need for it is clear enough.

This is a sum which a very small initial fee from each Parker could defray. Before the police inaugurate further nonsense in the name of order, the advantages of such a planned parking space should be considered...

Written by a noted sportswriter, a great pal of our prexy, to judge from the incessant "Jim" in the biography, the article also marks another tract of the serious prose which has been occupying our newspaper sports-columnists more than it should. Last year a fairly successful column on Byron was a surprise in John Kieran's "Down the Line," and no doubt some of Boston's own football scribes might turn out a nice piece...
...border on the battlefield of Tannenberg, the other near the French border at quiet little Rudesheim on the Rhine. By roaring 600 mi. across Germany in a fast plane. Handsome Adolf was able to appear and speak at both. At Tannenberg he presented to Old Paul von Hindenburg a tract of land adjacent to his Neudeck home; at Rudesheim he whooped it up for the Saar plebiscite of 1935 which may return the Saar Basin to Germany...
