He has been in this country for over a year, during which time he has delivered many lectures on Shakespeare at the larger universities.

What the "H" is to the athlete, the Phi Beta Kappa key is to the scholar. Of the two the latter is the greater achievement, as comparatively few men go out for athletics whereas the entire University is eligible to this intellectual Society.
