Mr. Bronson Howard lectures tonight in Sanders on "The Autobiography of a Play." Little need be said of a gentleman who is so well known as Mr. Howard. The lecture will, without doubt, well repay all who attend. This lecture is to be the first in a series given under the auspices of the Shakspere Club, which has as its object the furtherance of elocution and dramatic expression. The initial lecture is peculiarly apt, for while few Harvard students, perhaps, will actually grace the boards, it is not by any means improbable that many students will write for the stage. There is a large field open in the direction of dramatic writing, and solid satisfactory remuneration awaits success in this field. In these days when public speaking becomes absolutely necessary to public men, and when every man of determined opinions is at some time compelled to speak out those opinions, no opportunity ought to be neglected by which a better method of speaking may be obtained. The work of the Shakspere Club is admirably calculated to improve this method, and any success which may attain their work ought to be regarded as a benefit and an opportunity which may be used to attain better work. Little that is new can be learned from a lecture, it is true, but every lecture that is delivered by a successful, determined man, offers his hearers an inspiration which, if they accept, cannot fail to aid them in the future.
