In Manhattan was a subscription list of 32,000, the Guild's own handsome playhouse (to build it a $500,000 bond issue was offered and over-subscribed), and four other theatres which the Guild habitually leases.

Harvard life has become diversified and shot through with every sort of human interest and divergent aim so that an individual student can see only a small portion of it all. He cannot see the woods for the trees. Life...
