...literature in the front. As literature the Bible has an almost universal appeal. Bible classes are not crowded, because every man feels that here the Book is studied not for itself, but as a proof or basis of some creed. Considered by itself, it would awaken interest. The students delight in Professor Copeland's readings from the Old Testament. It seems reasonable to suppose that they would respond in other ways. But first it would be well to consider what courses are now given that deal with the subject...
...Bess and Roughman seemed easily the best-presented persons in the play. Mr. Haussermann's swaggering was indeed "immense"; and the difficult transitions from boasting to cringing and back again he managed with a fine skill of reality. He played to the point of delight a part which demands very much versatility. Mr. Spelman's Bess Bridges quite exhausts praise.

...Abreu '11, who played the part of "Boulinard," gave the most finished presentation, and continually drew a laugh from his audience. "Bodard," the role played by J. Heard '12, is certainly the most difficult to impersonate on account of the frequent and sudden changes from delight to despair. C. Chadwick '10, as the cook was the most successful of the women. M. Hoffman '12, as Cecile, was pretty, but not a girl in love, for in her encouragement of her despairing fiance she shows no emotion or feeling whatever...
