...plan of producing a Latin play next year will doubtless arouse wide spread interest, particularly after the marked success of the Greek play which was given in 1881. That was the first production of its kind in America and it attracted to Cambridge probably the most distinguished gathering of literary people ever assembled at one time. People flocked from all parts and paid fabulous prices for seats. The press of the country gave long accounts of it and London papers even went so far as to have the news cabled to them. The event marked an important period at Harvard...
...very little reason why the Latin play should not meet with the same enthusiastic reception that was accorded the Greek play. It ought certainly to have as great an educational influence. Not that it is likely to create an unnatural impetus to elective courses in Latin, but it will doubtless tend to increase the intelligent study of the language by those who are already interested in it. We appreciate Skakespeare better, perhaps, when we have seen his plays faithfully presented to us on the stage. For the same reason we are likely to catch a deeper appreciation...
...Vesper services, for instance, a man in a crowd walks into the gallery with his head covered, the disgraceful uproar at once begins. The visitors do not realize the meaning of it; too often they think it is a personal insult and are forced in common decency to retire, doubtless with very uncomplimentary opinions of Harvard courtesy...
...intelligent men to work their way through college. The different help associations here are becoming more and more effective. They serve not to bolster a man through his college course but to open the ways for him whereby he can help himself. They bridge over the hard times and doubtless save many from yielding to the discouragements which beset a man who tries to educate himself. That so many have succeeded in securing a college education by their own efforts is something of which we can be truly proud, not only because the University offers so many advantages for this...
PROFESSOR TROWBRIDGE' setter on rowing which appeared in yesterday's CRIMSON ought to receive more than an ordinary reading. He makes several suggestions for the scientific investigation of the most effective stroke, which are certainly original -, and doubtless practicable. Professor Trowbridge is too much of a scientist to suggest a method of determining the relative value of different strokes by experiment, unless there is a reasonable possibility that some accurate and valuable results can be obtained. His whole life has been a study of scientific problems even more intricate and difficult than this one, and we believe that investigations under...
