"COPEY" AND THE FRESHMEN

Charles Townsend Copeland, "Copey" to thousands of Harvard alumni, ideal of the Harvard Club of New York, nationally known teacher and connoisseur of literature, editor of "The Copeland Reader", and, last but not least, high priest of the Yard, has announced that he will descend from the Hollis empyrean and give his annual Christian reading in the Union for members of the Freshman Class alone.

When men of other years left the Union to ever-increasing neglect, little did they realize that its rehabilitation would be so completely for first year men. Other undergraduates have been scorned; with the Yard and its traditions, the Union and the ideals of Major Higginson, the first year men have won the favor of the one man who is the apotheosis of Harvard's traditional atmosphere and social virtue.

while the rest of the College regretfully directs its steps elsewhere, "Copey" will be giving three hundred and fifty Freshmen, no more, a glimpse of that culture which only four years of Harvard can inculcate. Whether the first year student goes to hear Copey read because he wants to see the only man privileged to pasture a cow on the sward of the Yard, or to thrill the nuances of great reading, he will come away with a new perspective on his Harvard career.
