...very interesting way, a summary of the different periods of development of Pennsylvania from its founding in 1740 as "The Charity School of Philadelphia" to its present state of high rank among the foremost American universities. With chapters on undergraduate customs; university characters; athletics; the university seal, colors, cheer and songs; this book should appeal strongly to all Penn, alumni; and its historic value and significance in the early affairs of our nation lend it a general interest...

Both Mr. Ryan, in his pantheistic God's Ghost, haunting, mysterious, dewy, curiously suggesting tones of Wordsworth and Keats, and Mr. Chambers, in the Sinn Fein, frankly swinging into Kipling's virile stride to tell how men may cheer and die, not only have something to say but show that they love music of word and of line and understand the beauty of form. Miss Campbell strives honorably but is not so successful: not even the exigencies of rhyme can justify the momentary shifting to the "plain language" of Friends...
