...theatre and putting it on a solid foundation. The argument has been used that no theatre can thrive without the pressure of active competition; that the theatre-going public would soon lose interest in a publicly subsidized drama, with the idea in mind, in all probability or a glorified sort of hand concert on the Boston Common...

Others have recommended many reforms, some similar, some very different, some radical, some inane. The latest to discuss the subject are President Hibben of Princeton and Professor Mendell, chairman of the Yale Athletic Board of Control. President Hibben says, in part...
