...slight attention to the reading which was the immediate subject of the editorial. We wish to express our appreciation of the delightful reading which Professor Trueblood gave on Wednesday evening. It was an example of highly perfected speech, and showed the power that such utterance, even in its simplest form, has over an audience.
