This series, of which Professor Baker is editor-in-chief, will, when completed, comprise over fifty volumes, and will include all the leading English dramas from 1590 to the present day. Each volume will be edited by a specialist and will contain beside the unexpurgated text of one or more plays, a complete bibliography, a critical introduction, and a brief biography of the author. Among the special editors are Professor J. B. Fletcher '87, and Mr. T. Hall, Jr., 93, instructor in the English department. The first volumes will appear sometime between Christmas and Easter...
...last issue of the Lampoon is remarkably good, and its merits are due in common to cover design, illustrations and text.

Zola's novel, "La Terse," has lately been dramatized and put on the stage in a Parisian literary theatre. The characters are countrymen, people of little or no culture, who in every country have a certain brutality of instinct. Yet in criticising this work, the peasants declare that Zola has ascribed to them all the crimes committed in the whole of France during...
...quarters as soon as the furnishing is completed, and the seventeen courses of the department will be given in the lecture rooms which are being fitted up for that purpose. In addition to the lecture and recitation rooms there will be a large Semitic library comprising both the regular text books and an extensive collection of the general reading on the subject. That portion of the Museum, however, which is to be used for exhibitions will not be occupied until next summer...
