We are delighted to hear that Mr. Jefferson has consented to give a dramatic discourse to Harvard students. To listen to a man of such experience and reputation on the stage as his has been is a great and rare privilege. No one who has seen Mr. Jefferson act can have failed to be charmed by the personality which makes itself felt through all his characters. One longs to know the man himself apart from his stage disguise. To most persons this is unfortunately impossible; but an informal address will come as near to satisfying them as anything short of personal acquaintance can. Mr. Jefferson has very recently been received with enthusiastic interest in a similar address at Yale, and Harvard men will take pleasure in showing themselves no less appreciative of their good fortune.
As formerly for the visit of Mr. Irving, the University is again indebted to the Harvard Union for the promise of Mr. Jefferson's address. It will be very ready to acknowledge the full extent of the indebtedness.
