What more fit subject for comedy than an impromptu encounter between the goody and the hapless student at some compromising moment? For red-blooded action with thrills and hair-breadth escapes, there are the traffic terrors of the Square. Suspense and tragedy could both be embodied in a visit to University Hall. For human interest, what more moving than a close-up of the daily organ-grinder?

...Natural Science which has had many kinds of publicity (TIME, March 16). When the brothers were trekking through perilous snowy passes in Kashmir and Thian Shan, losing ponies and porters, and living off the land with their trusty rifles as they dashed back into the Pamirs after one fruitless visit, their vicissitudes were followed as though they had been hunting the north pole instead of a species of mountain sheep unknown to our museums...
