"My friend Corneille," Moliere is supposed to have said, "has a familiar who inspires him with the finest verses in the world. But sometimes the familiar leaves him to shift for himself, and then he fares very badly." Surely his familiar was close beside him when in one of his bursts of genius he wrote "Rodogune," a play which he himself with right considered his--greatest triumph. In fact were it only for the magnificent and terrible character of Cleopatre, a living presentation of the worst form of feminine dignity, the play would be worthy of the close attention and admiration of posterity. Yet there is hardly a weak point in the whole drama, either in the verse or in the deliniation of character.

This play will be discussed by Professor Wright at 10 o'clock this morning in Harvard 1.

There has probably been no greater problem facing the British Empire at least in its colonial affairs than the problem of India. Ever since its annexation to the Empire. India it seems has been more or less of a white elephant, bringing with it as much trouble as good.

During the last decade the problem of what to do with India has become more and more acute. Just as the spirit of nationalism brought on the train of the War has pervaded Europe, so it has begun to spread into India, under the fostering care of men like Gandhi and his associates.

The statement of the problem is indeed simple Should Great Britain grant India antinomy on the question of independence, and if so, when? But the answer to this question is one well calculated to tax the powers of the greatest statesman.

Colonel Vivian Gabriel, who was for 25 years a high official in the Indian Civil Service and is at present a member of the King's Household troops will speak this morning on India with especial reference to the Native States. The lecture will be in Sever 20 at 10 o'clock.
