Getting acquainted with your public is very satisfactory--at meals. It is a great pity that the public cannot come into such intimate contact with actors more often. Now they have only a newspaper acquaintance. I blame the newspapers for the present theatrical mess in New York. They misrepresent us and as a result most people conceive all actors to be only carousers off-stage...
...endogenous?," said Emerson, "and education is his unfolding." This is perhaps the shortest and best definition that has ever been given of that much discussed and much disputed subject. A large university like Harvard offers limitless possibilities for education in Emerson's sense of the word. Competitive contact with one's fellows in some form of undergraduate activity will often do more to "bring a man out" and help him find himself than any course he could possibly select in the University catalogue.

Colonel Moore has always been a lover of the wilderness. Soon after his graduation from Princeton, his restless disposition urged him to travel through the Rockies and as far north as the Peace River. At the outbreak of the World War, he was so far from human contact that six weeks passed before he heard even a rumor of it. Immediately he set out on foot, walked two hundred miles to the nearest town, signed up and went overseas to Flanders, where he served with great distinction. As soon as peace was declared, he returned to his life of wandering...
