Always a resort for pleasure and inspiration in the closet, Shakespeare to-day, amid all’ the nondescript offerings of the theatre, is the ultimate test and crown of the actor and the supreme means of intel- lectual gratification, as he has been for generations, and as he promises to continue indefinitel The influence Shakespeare has exerted upon intellectual life is immeasurable.

It is much more important that college students come into a realization of the im- pertinence of some study.
