...story of the play is that of a modern family of the French aristocracy. Helene, the youngest daughter, although very independent, is finally persuaded to become engaged to the Baron Houzier. Robert, the new family secretary, saves the family fortune, which had been endangered by a plot of the baron and a friend, and finally marries Helene against the wishes of her family...
With all the nervous preparation that precedes the youngest daughter's a debut, Harvard is decorating the house--stringing advantageous lanterns and fabricating white fountains in exciting places. The Yard is rapidly losing its staid respectability and assuming the artificial glamor which distant relatives and more distant story-writers expect of it. And the Seniors, most of whom have too much to do at present any way, are losing many valuable hours on tours of inspection, on discussing the whys and hows of the water system. The bandstand is as yet in too embryonic a state to attract attention...
Dean Edgell, who thus assumes a position which has been vacant since the death of Dean H. Langford Warren in 1917, is one of the youngest men ever chosen to preside over a Harvard faculty.

His offering is a number of clever imitations of Broadway stars--Jolson, Leonard, Foy--and any one else that the audience asked...
...more illustration bearing on the point but from a different angle, is this incident. In a repair gang of workers, the youngest apprentice had just quit work. "Public opinion" elected the next youngest employee to succed him in getting noonday milk for several workers. The young man in question performed the service with smiles and was obliged to "keep the change" sometimes as compensation. This milk vendor (or shall we say 100 percent worker?) was a Harvard student, but neither he nor his fellow workers remembered that at the time. CHAS. W. LYTLE. Director of Industrial Cooperation...
