...Princetonian has at least evolved a tenable diagnosis of the ill, and the suggestions that have been made are honest attempts at its cure. But much is still to be said, that will probably, for many years at least, remain unsaid. The yearning after synthesis, the desire for some more all-inclusive faith than the multiformity of modern science and modern knowledge allows, bears an affinity to romantic nostalgia that is at times a little hard to stomach.

Twelve "good men and true" are to be the arbiters of New York's theatrical morals. What their special qualifications will be is left unsaid. They are probably the same as those which so eminently fit the average New York court jury for its legal task...
