Many of the students showing conspicuous talent for films > established a contact with Sam Wood, the director, which will stAnd them in good stead if later on they look to Hollywood for further laurels. “So This Is College” outlines the life of a student from the moment he steps off the train to the day he says goodbye to Alma Mater The foibles of scholastic and fraternity life are amusingly developed and will give many a fond parent an eye opener as to what son Johnny is laughing at when he is supposted to be studying.
