...Brothers, Hem and Haw, were presented by Butler and Middlemass. The latter, who had the longer part, has remarkable ability. Harrison had the tenor part; his acting was always smooth, and his fine voice was never heard to better advantage. As Googoo, "the detec-a-tive," Loring repeated his success of last year.

Owing to the success of the French lectureships established by Mr. J. H. Hyde '98, of New York, at the University and elsewhere in the United States, Mr. Hyde offered in 1904 to found a similar course at the Sorbonne on American literature and institutions. The University of Paris accepted the offer, with the understanding that the course was to be made permanent if it was successful the first year.
