Sometimes a single lecture will serve to cover the ground; sometimes it will require several consecutive talks. Mr. Copeland's main object will be to give in a thorough and very concise manner discussions of various subjects in the field of literature which are sought for by the student and yet are not to be had in the regular curriculum. Certain methods of treating the plays of Shakespeare, the acted drama, critical comparison...
