Since then, among many other foreign scholars and statesmen, Sir Leslie Stephen, James Bryce, Eugen Kuhnemann, and George Walter Prothero have been chosen to honorary membership; Jean Jules Jusserand was orator in 1912; Alfred Noyes, poet in 1915. The roll of men who have joined the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa in honoring these occasions is as distinguished as it is long...
