Anyone who enjoys pure literary foolery, strongly tinged with good-natured satire and keen observation entirely disassociated from reality must enjoy this little book. The Bohemian, neo-artistic circles are ridiculed delightfully; and the love affairs of Mr. Withersq and his Lelia reach the pinnacle of absurdity. One can easily imagine that the author had a marvelous time writing "Splashing Into Society"; and if one has a taste for the unusual and unorthodox, one cannot help being greatly amused...
...Freshmen, and is so applied by the author of the Communication, Mr. George Woodbridge. Undergraduates who have been at the University for a year or more, or even for a few months, form a habit of asking other undergraduates about the content of a course. Thence evolves the neo-professional informer who has every "snap" and "stiff" course at his finger-tips.

...Turner in England, Delacroix in France, reacted against the orthodox tradition. They were dimly aware of the uses of color, and, though they probably would not recognize their spiritual descendants, they fathered the long line of impressionists, neo-impressionists, pointillists, postimpressionists, cubists, orphists, synchromists and what not, whom the 19th and 20th Centuries spawned.

...drug was discovered by Dr. Walter A. Jacobs and Dr. Michael Heidelberger, of the Rockefeller Institute, in 1915, after 63 distinct combinations had been found failures. It is somewhat similar in structure to arsphenamine (neo-salvarsan), the best specific for syphillis yet found, which was devised by Ehrlich, of Germany, and Hata, of Japan, after several hundred fruitless trials. Studies of the action of tryparsamide on animals were made by Dr. Wade H. Brown and Dr. Louise Pearce, of the Institute staff, and in 1920 Dr. Pearce went to the Belgian Congo, where she used it extensively in the treatment...
...last-named play. Everyone shudders at a man who can make his pulse stop beating at will or who goes into a murderous fit at the sight of a pair of fire-tongs or can conceive and carry out such a devilish scheme of vengeance as this neo-maniac in "It is the Law". Mr. Hohi fills the part well; it is he who makes the play...
