...consistently "given thanks that it is not as other colleges are," chiefly because it has never said so, at least for publication. It has succeeded in maintaining this feeling by means of example, not by precept. The incoming Freshman comes to feel that he has at last reached a grown-up institution and that it is up to him to put away childlike things. Very often his illusions of what a college ought to be are shattered. Gone are the Ralph Henry Barbarism of "frattiness" and the "rah-rah" spirit. He must even desert the "campus" for the more prosaic...

At the end of a four-year course, a student passes through the brilliant celebrations of the Senior Spread, the Ivy Oration, and the Yale baseball game--then to file into the cramped and out-grown space of Sanders Theatre for the most vital hour of his College life, leaving his family to see the glass flowers or visit Concord and Lexington in the interini.

...essay by Mr. Denison on "Samual Butler and the Way of All Flesh." It is full of interesting matter, of which a greatest art will be new to most readers. The second literary essay, Mr. Littell's "Imagines and Gargoyles," seems the work of a writer who has not grown up no his vocabulary, but who has things to say and may discipline himself into saying them well. Of the two stories, Mr. Dos Passos's "Pot of Tulips" contains skilful description and an inimitable heroin. Mr. Whittlesey's "Best Laid Schemes" is lively, humorous, and endowed with a "double...
