With its main line running from Montreal to Vancouver, with the extent of its entire transportation system, including its Atlantic and Pacific fleets, best indicated by the fact that it has a contract with the British Empire to carry mail from Liverpool to Yokohama, the Canadian Pacific might well advance a claim to "world's greatest" railroad. Its neighbor and chief competitor, the government-controlled Canadian National, has 22,000 miles of line, but Canadian National's mileage is perhaps too great for its own good and only the rare vigor and ability of U.

Is it not consistent with the aims of the Harvard Dramatic Club many of whose members will adopt the stage as a career, occasionally to devote its time and energy to producing this important type...
