Note and Comment.

Not very long ago college students received no official encouragement to enter into researches concerning theatrical matters. But things have changed somewhat. Mr. Bronson Howard, the leading American dramatist, has been telling the Harvard boys how to write plays, and Mr. Henry Irving is expected soon to tell the Oxford boys how to act them, while the Princeton boys have a prosperous dramatic club of their own, which gives public performances with great eclat. - Harpers Weekly.
