Within the past week, statistics have come from both Princeton and Harvard which show that students prefer to major in Polities and Economics, respectively, at these two institutions. If these subjects are chosen for concentration from purely intellectual motives, and not because it is pleasanter to take a large number of hours in these than in other courses, the obvious inference is that Princeton will produce our politicians, and Harvard our businessmen. Inasmuch as Yale finds English still the most popular subject, she might be expected to produce a merely cultured intelligentsia. That would be division of labor...

Like most people George V and Queen Mary greatly prefer musical comedy to Shakespeare.

Later Their Majesties went to two or three plays without music. It was not until last week, however, that King George turned, as one eventually does, to Shakespeare and to Hamlet. It was the Bard's birthday (April 23), and Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson was opening an all-star Hamlet...
