...reception of the play was remarkable; but in no city was it as remarkable as in Boston--the theatrical Mecca for the Cambridge students. The opening night is rapidly becoming historic; Harvard evidently had different ideas as to the truth of Mrs. Young's comedy. The students demonstrated their opinions with violent mass methods. But this local disturbance only served to make the play more widely known and gave it impetus for a long run elsewhere. It was a creditable success for anyone; for a young woman of 32 it was distinctly gratifying...
...long been admitted both by those members of the faculty whose interest is the training and cultural development of the undergraduate mind and by those members of the student body whose prime interest is that training and development. However, there has grown with the stalwart persistence of a ripening truth a definite belief that these examinations are crowding and confusing the life of the senior candidate for distinction. This has, for the most part, been the result of the close time contact of the distinction thesis required by most departments, with these examinations. And it is to cure this...
This, however, need not be considered in any way a reason for denying the full benefit which will accrue from the existence of junior divisionals, on the contrary it merely reveals the truth that the plan is not a be all end all but really one more movement in the right direction, as far as Harvard undergraduate education is concerned.

For a goodly part of three acts he had to suffer Miss Newcombe's ranting conception of a lady, Miss Grande's deliberately indecorous delineation of a lorgnette holder, Miss Ediss's usual...
...faculty. For years there has been a definite policy at Harvard to allow smaller colleges to exist under the university. The only novelty in the particular plan is that Harvard College itself would be divided for the sake of cultured efficiency which is perhaps a paradox, yet certainly a truth. And when the good to be gained from such division is as patent as deliberate considerations reveals this to be, the only real scruples must be those of wholly monitary nature...
