...only sport which showed an excess of income over expenses. The income for varsity football was $483,750.98 as against an expense of $110,776.97. This item includes all costs of the stadium contests. Every varsity major sport team except the varsity track team decreased its expenses in comparison with 1930-31. The varsity track team showed a slight increase because of the expenses involved in the Oxford-Cambridge trip. Notable was the reduction in the expenses of the crew to $27,688.70 as against $42,425.84 in 1930-31. Administration and other expenses were reduced...

The third act would never be criticized but for the fact that it suffers in comparison to the ecstatic rush of the first two. Bluntly put, "The Perfect Marriage" was delightful. One leaves the theatre in the glamorous mood that marks the romanticist's tempestuous existence...
...might violate, but which no poetry since has overthrown." This statement covers both of Mr. Eliot's main points, and what he says in the rest of the book illustrates, but does not add to it. The occasional obiter dicta on other poets, by way of contrast and comparison, and on poetry in general, are particularly felicitous, and rather more interesting than the central text. In style the essays have the precision and moderation characteristic of Mr. Eliot's prose, though now and then, (as in the statement that to Dryden "as much as to any individual...
