Somewhere in the still remembered past the men of Harvard marched out into the battlefields that were to decide if the Nation were to exist as the founders of our government had planned. Some marched out wearing the northern blue, while others in southern gray followed the call of "Dixie" and "The Bonnie Blue Flag."

The English people are either amusement seeking, moderately indifferent or religiously hos- tile to the stage. In spite of all opposition the drama will always exist. Why, then, is it not better to enlist the energy of the cultured for its benefits? What antiquarian Oxford ignores. Harvard, through the work of Professor Baker, is teaching, namely, a true conception of a most influential...
