...Blood Craze. His cattleship story called "Murph"--well-constructed and boldly written and vivid as it unquestionably is--is too full of perspiration and profanity and filth. Mr. Petersen's leading character has nothing distinctive about him, excepting an odor like a New England barnyard after an April shower." This sentence is more suited to a report of the Sewer Commission than to a work of literary art. Even Mr. Calvert Smith's "Nueva Andalucia," a gracefully written and brilliantly colored--though uneven--story of South America, shows a similar tendency toward the odoriferous. and in "Nueva Andalucia" the good...

The rapid growth of the Senior Dormitories from a mere idca into one of Harvard's strongest traditions is due to the recognition of the fact the appeal must be not only to sentiment but to the senses.

Water, and plenty of it, is essential. Tubs with every room are not necessary, but there should be shower baths on every floor. Hollis and Stoughton are adequately equipped in this respect: there are set bowls with running water in every room, and showers on every floor of each entry. Only two-thirds of the rooms in Holworthy are equipped with running water, and there are only two showers in each entry. These conditions should...
