...performances of the second part of "Henry IV," and your criticism published on the morning of the 14th was friendly enough. But I hardly think that it is generally realized how remarkable a success the D. U. Society has achieved. It is not merely that it is "wonderfully good for undergraduates"; it is, without any allowances, an illuminating and delightful entertainment. One seldom hears Shakespere's lines read more effectively and more beautifully than by Mr. Wilmot and Mr. Hume, and Mr. Wetherell's Falstaff is something to remember.

This question is as bad as the uneasy choice which Mr. McCombs offered us between militarism and pacifism. Some of us like good boxing matches and find it not inconsistent with a fondness for stimulating lectures or reading. Compared with most professional boxing-matches, the meet at the Union a short time ago deserved the interest of Harvard men just as surely as this issue of The Harvard Monthly deserves our attention in competition...
