War-Work by the 47 Workshop.

Through the first term of the college year the 47 Workshop afforded an excellent example of the value of a college organization concerned with the interpretation of an art. When the Workshop produced its play, "The Middle Window," in November, it was immediately asked by the Phillips Brooks House Association to give it again at the Hasty Pudding Theatre for the benefit of soldiers and sailors in training at Cambridge; and soon afterwards the War Camp Community Service secured a similar production of the play, first at the Copley Theatre in Boston and then at the War Camp Community hut at Ayer. The success of these performances led at once to the revival of one of the plays of last year, "Her Flesh and Blood," on the same stages in Cambridge, Boston, and Ayer. Still later the Workshop players appeared at Ayer in yet another of its previous productions. The demobilization of the S. A. T. C. will naturally reduce the demand for such performances in Cambridge, but there is every indication that the Harvard-made-and-played dramas will make their contribution to the camp-life at Devens for some time to come. It is good to think that all this excellent public, or semi-public, service may be credited to a Harvard enterprise. --The Alumni Bulletin.
