...success of the Historic Operatic Concerts and the support which they have received from graduates of the University. The opera is not a light amusement but an educational force; it is a composite art and appeals to the higher qualities of the listener. In spite of the commercial spirit of this age, the opera will have a vital growth in the future, and it is only commercial power which can provide operatic productions...
...number of patrons, there has been a marked falling off in the decorum of its members. Particularly at the dinner hour has this been the case.

His brief introduction to the "Antigone" in which he discusses the nature of Greek tragedy, makes us wish that he had written more extensively on this subject and on Greek literature in general. Since 1898, when he assumed special charge of Philosophy 1b (later A), a course...
