...proper salient to be counter-attacked, it is equally wrong. There has been one reaction predominant in the college--as disclosed in letters to the Crimson and as voiced in discussion roundabout--since the publication of Tuesday's editorial. This is the attitude that, while tutoring schools are indeed vicious and overgrown, there is a reason for their existence. This reason is the worthless teaching and organization in a great number of courses, the unreasonable demands for work in others, the refusal to sympathize with academic maladjustment...
...from Harvard, there must be general house cleaning. However, there is a common tendency to make too much of these faults, and they are used to rationalize things for which they are not responsible. The tutoring schools blow them up to huge proportions, using them to explain the most vicious practices. Rich and indolent students give them as an excuse in entirely unwarranted cases. And the fact remains that without the knavery of the Harvard tutoring schools, and without a wealthy, lazy clientele, the tutoring racket would not exist
...fine leadoff man in Captain Art Johns, who hit for 362 in League contesis last season to rank sixth in the circuit. Reine Grondahl, the team's "money hitter," led the League in runs batted in last year. Jojo Soltz is almost as vicious a hitter as Lupien. Batting left handed, Gannett is a good "waiter."

Yet about this skeleton has been built the flesh of humor, and into the whole has been breathed the breath of life by fast-paced direction and some excellent acting by the principals. Novelty; too, enters, for there is an interesting portrayal by Sam Jaffe of Kipling...
...unstable, imaginative, developing from a runaway schoolboy to writer, to revolutionist, while Antoine, sober, good-natured, plodding, grows in understanding as his professional skill increases. He falls in love with Rachel and finally, through the haze of the lies she tells him about herself, begins to understand her sulphurous, vicious, pathetic, vice-ridden past and future. Still to be translated is Summer 1914 (a book as long as Gone With the Wind), which carries the fate of Jacques and Antoine...
