...whole renaissance of amateur theatricals on a dignified, sane scale owes its origin to George Pierce Baker and to the universities throughout the country which have followed in Harvard's footsteps. Today state legislatures are in favor of the theatre movement in their universities and have even endowed creative dramatic schools where an M.A. in Drama is equal to an M.A. in any other field. This type of thing is vastly stimulating as well as hopeful and interesting...
...whole creed and one which has had no little effect on human history is based on the value of each human life. So there are those who doubt the ultimate truth of this verdict. The courts of law at best deal rather inadequately with those criminals who are obviously sane.

One graduate Mr. J. M. Hallowell '88, who has been so misled, writes indignantly as follows...
...must not become futile through the internal troubles of country cabinets. Germany and France are both at least careless of their own interest if they do not enjoy peace at home as well as abroad. But that they will is obvious, for both realize the need of continuing as sane as they appeared at Locarno. The time has evidently come when peace is economically necessary among the nations of Europe. For the benefit of less flexible minds the time should come when cabinet peace is also economically necessary. The American citizen cannot endure mercurial movements, nor can his stocks...
