...chiefly considered. Their theories are still of present concern. It is true as well that the efforts of Professor Lewis to force his widely dissociated materials into a semblance of form are as attractive as any intellectual katzenjammer can be. But the reading assignments are lengthy, the quizzes frequent, and the standards high enough to exclude the Man-without-a-Purpose. It is this person's conviction that at some past day a misguided confidential reviewer shouted from the house-tops that here was the course for the gentleman to snare his "C" in, and that since then the gods...

...administration of books reserved on the open shelves in the Main Reading Room of Widener Library. These books may be taken out Saturday evening and not returned until Monday morning.

...course, simple enough to make fun of the cinema magnates for their insistence on backstage and pseudo-collegiate subject matter, but it is totally unfair not to realize that there is much to be said on their side. The filmgoers have demonstrated with some conclusiveness that they want frequent musical numbers in their pictures, yet with equal certainty they have shown that they want the songs to be embedded in the plot with some show of realism.
