...London's reopened shows prospered again. Most popular were Little Dog Laughed, at the Palladium; Black Velvet, at the Hippodrome; French for Love, at the Criterion, and a revue at the Gate which features cracks about the U. S. profiteering from the war and the recent "stay-out-of-war" speech of Colonel Charles Augustus Lindbergh...
...Seymour's Report, however, seems to indicate that Yale, like Harvard, has closed her eyes to such a method of solving the tenure problem. This move is unfortunate not only in itself but because it furthers a policy made fashionable by Harvard. Strict adherence to actuarial tables as a criterion for appointments is scarcely in line with giving the best possible education available.

My program, which is the program of a journalist, and not the program of a person with any political ambitions whatsoever, is to try to make more people think along these lines...
