...those composition courses whose slogan is "you get out of this what you put in." The rudiments of literary creation are not induced into raw Freshmen and Sophomores by a brief judgment scrawled below the mark on the back of a weekly theme, nor even in the tri-weekly 20-minute conference. In these conferences, as in the readings of themes during the lectures hours, the criticism is mostly on the subject matter and plot, and little on the technique of the writer.

The colors were recorded on one special sensitized plate, placed behind a taking screen made up of hundreds of thousands of infinitesimal tri-color (red, green, blue-violet) filters which absorb part of the light and transmit the remainder to the plate. This process produces a transparency which, held to the light, shows a photograph in original color...
