...show a decrease of 76 in the total University enrolment from the figures of 1907-08. This follows a decrease of 62 in last year's figures from the year 1906-07. The figures for this year denote a very considerable decrease, however, when consideration is taken of the fact that there is noted an increase of 206 in the summer schools and a new school has been added to the list in the Graduate Business School.

...only 23 years old. Ten years hence, when he has become a still more successful and well-seasoned playwright, he will probably stand abashed at the remembrance of all he did and dared in his maiden effort. For however much traditions may be shocked and polite conventionalities shattered, the fact must go on record that this boy from Harvard, backed only by the courage of his own convictions, and with Mrs. Fiske as both actress and stage manageress standing as a tower of strength behind him, has given New York the most daring play that this town has ever seen...
