...bears no close relation to their lives. They are following an inspiration. As such they are idealists, true to the cause of idealism in looking for a greater good beyond the present. In such sacrifices as they, and uncounted other young men in every nation, are making, may be seen something stupendous. War becomes more than the barbarian wrath of jealous government: It is something ennobling and grand...
Professor Baker has chosen to produce this drama for a number of reasons. The American-Scandinavian Foundation is very anxious to have it staged in America and the Workshop will be the first to present on this continent a masterpiece which has been seen in Denmark, Norway, Germany and England. This more than any other of Sigurjonsson's writings has made him famous as one of the younger Icelandic and, indeed, Euopean dramatists.

Whether or not such an offer ever will be made remains to be seen, but it does not seem likely that if Mr. Russell is called to Harvard he will be asked to take the chair held by such men as Professor Palmer and Professor Royce. The chair demands a philosophical scholar who is an ethical thinker of distinction, and Mr. Russell, with...
