This is the context for today's game. Two relatively idealistic, relatively well-matched teams will meet for the honor which means the most to both of them. The great pity of the occasion is that one of the two must be denied the honor, though we feel sure that the men from Yale will find ample satisfaction in contributing their time and talent to a spectacle rare for its traditional spirit and anomalous for its purely subjective appeal...
...Yale" is an Alien-Wonderland book. It lauds laissez-faire economics, deplores laissez-faire education. It preaches religious tolerance but says that there is only one true religion.

"Love's Labour's Lost" would be young in any century, if it received the kind 'of delicate treatment which the Brattle Company has administered. Grace and delicacy are just what the Brattle group has given...
