S. indoor title for the first time, she had won all her previous bouts with almost ridiculous ease. The two women stepped onto...
Professor Packard's course in Public Speaking has the unique distinction of being one of the few "practical" courses given at Harvard. The main purpose of English 10a is simply to improve the students' delivery of addresses of all sorts and to give him actual platform experience and in this purpose the course is remarkably successful...
