Unfortunately at present the Harvard curriculum is entirely devoid of courses in the technology of the stage.

Many law graduates who enter business each year will find such training more valuable than the study of law itself. Aside from monetary rewards for their ingenuity, the schools will feel quite deservedly a definite satisfaction that they have succeeded in filling a definite gap in the methods...
