Where the College fails completely, however, is in the theatre. The single offering with any hint of practical instruction in acting or direction, Professor Packard's English P, thoroughly tempers this exercise with formal study of theatrical history, the theory and principles of acting, directing, stage design, etc. Otherwise, attempts to found courses in performance have been beaten down with all the classic arguments: the study of acting is too professional--Harvard is not a vocational training school and it should leave such non-scholarly subjects to less scholarly institutions...
