...judge by the crowded houses at the Globe Theatre, the attractions of form and face with which nature has blessed Mr. Henry E. Dixey are by no means on the wane.

This fact seems to us worthy of attention, for it is evidence of the breadth of thought which now exists at Harvard, but which is likely to be misconstrued by outsiders. Harvard is essentially liberal in all its ideas. It is our most earnest wish to look at questions from all points of view, and in matters of religion as well as other subjects...
