...introducing Dr. George A. Gordon D.D. '81, who delivered the commemorative lecture on Milton last night at Sanders Theatre, President Eliot said that Milton expresses the aims and ideals of Harvard University by his life more than any other man.

He was a great writer of prose and poetry, and teaching the English language is one of the greatest aims of the University.

In addition, men now in the University not included under any of these classifications, who entered with the class of 1909, and who are not officially registered with the class of 1909, may, on petition, vote...
From the point of view of the audience, a phase of the subject very generally neglected in such things, the change should be most acceptable. The formal debate of today is undoubtedly of great value to the participant, but it is not interesting to the average man. It is too technical, and redundant. The proposed contest will be considerably shorter, more varied, and more comprehensible. The emphasis on the literary quality, the power to please and persuade an audience, should bring out that phase in which our debating is weakest. Altogether, the new arrangements are to the advantage...
