COPEY.

The Union has been fortunate in having as its speakers this fall some of the most distinguished men of the English speaking nations. But perhaps none of them have received or have deserved to received a warmer welcome than that which will be extended tonight to Professor Copeland.

As far back as any undergraduate or "middle-aged" graduate of the College can remember, Copey's readings have been an essential part of the life of the University. Through the trying years of the war we were able to struggle along without sugar and coal, we willingly gave up our afternoons to close order drill, and even renounced our hereditary privilege of beating Yale on the gridiron. But exist without readings from "Copey" we could not and did not.

Having passed through the terrors of war, we hopefully face the even more perilous times of reconstruction ahead. Reconstruction as well as charity begins at home. And where can we be better "reconstructed" in our ideas of the possibilities of the English language than by listening to Professor Copeland? May his readings continue until the "Letters from France" and the "Hero's Couch" are but memories of the distant past.
