"The acquisition of Professor Baker is a triumph."   Yale Daily News.

Harvard fumbles; Yale recovers.   Heywood Broun in the New York World.

"Nice little job," sings Yale to Harvard, "for your Dramatic-shop Baker."   Boston Globe.

Even Professor Baker's departure is dramatic.   Boston Herald.

"It is Yale's gain and Harvard's loss.   Boston Transcript.
