...stay in Boston seems to us an excellent one. There is always something interesting in the personality of such a man and the interest of his mere presence is almost always borne out by the manner and substance of his speech. There are many things which the students would like very much to know concerning the art of acting and the various methods used in connection with the stage.

For him have his ancestors toiled for generations; for him has a college been founded, and for him has the world been growing better and happier ever since the beginning. But there can be no more narrow or dismal way of looking at one's life than to regard it as the perfection of all efforts of the past. Rather, it is but a step...
