...annual reports of the President and Heads of Committees of the Phillips Brooks House Association which we publish this morning tell a story of remarkable adaptability and achievement. From the long list of various good works accomplished and plans of growth fulfilled, one cannot but gather an impression of extraordinary energy and activity on the part of those connected with the Association. Surely a University institution which not only held its own during the trying conditions of war-time but at the same time definitely and in a variety of ways increased the field of its activity cannot but deserve...

But somehow Barrie wins us back; henceforth we do not believe that death is like this, yet before the play is over...
...gives us a remarkably distinguished picture of the British spirit which made it possible for England to go on building more ships and munitions, and sending millions of here sons into battle, when the flower of the nation had died. Mrs. Arliss affords her husband able support, and Olive Tell, as the old sweetheart, is pleasant to look upon...
