The problems that confront Coach Gore (Pat O'Brien) in this picture-an attempt to buy real estate and sell it to Calvert College for a new stadium; the interest Mrs. Gore (Ann Dvorak) shows in a ringer halfback; the resentment of Calvert's best player (Dick Powell) when he gets passing marks he does not deserve -are far more interesting than the locker-room orations and kindergarten campus antics with which Hollywood usually pays its respects to football every autumn.

Reprinted in these columns is the editorial written on the occasion of President Lowell's accession to his present office; a glance at this suffices to show one of the more evident differences between the task which confronted President Lowell and the task which will confront President Conant in the fall. The physical development of Harvard is now an accomplished fact: the House Plan and the tutorial system have reached a stage in their existence where any further treatment is a matter of small refinements and revision of detail.
