ROYAL BAKING POWDEK CO., 106 Wal street, N. .Y menta of the drama as an art ! and without lts art, aside from its poetry, no dramatic literature exlsts. Every univereity gradúate has heard the word "unities," but take one of them to the Astor Library; open a volume of oíd playa; and ask hlm to put his finger on a "Unity." He knows there must be one somewhere in the library, but not being a mind reader ltke Mr. Bishop he Ia not likely to flnd it, even wlih his eyes open yet thls youug man has a half-written play at home or he may b an eager applicant lor the post of dramatic criiic. We were all in his positlon once ; and if, dramatists orcritics, we have learned anythine of dramatic art, it was odIv by hard labor and oy experimental blunders, auer our "liberal education" was flnished. I have referred to " one exception " among the learned iDstitutiona of this country. That exception is the University of Michtean. During a merely personal visit to Ana Albor, last winter, I was astonluhcd to find, among the various courses of lectur, one on the principies of dramatic construction illustrated by the works of Corneille, on the classical side, and those of Víctor Hugo and living French dramatirts, on ihe modern side. The lecturer was Professor Alfred Hennequin, a member of the faculty. I attended this course. About one hundred fctmients were present and they evinced the closest possible inierest, takiig notes and passing, at the end, a regular examinatlon. Though an optional course it was a recognized part of thelr collegiate training and held its due place, with other courees, in their studie for a degree. Professor Hennequin does not confine hïmself, asi have said, to ihe writers wbo have gone. but dlscusses the artlstic peculiarlties, beauties and defects of the living French masters of the drama, as their works appear from time to time in Paris- Angier, Feuillet, 8ardon, Pumas, etc. I found principies eimiiciated and illustrated by masters, living and dead, which have forced themselves upon myself in the course of my own work, and which it would have been infinitely valuable to me to have known beforehand, as these young students of the Michigan Univereity do. I also learned many thiugs that wonld be of service to me hereafter. Now, air, recurring to what I have said above, inasmuch as American dramatic literature is established at last on a basis of financial prosperity, will it not be well if our instltutlons of learnlng do what is in their power to ralse it to the artistic plane of Europeau dramatic literature? Need Columbia, Yale. Harvard and Prineeton leave the CTniversity of Michigan solitary and peculiar, as Hnow is. in this work? Learued professors in some of these Eastern institutions have asked me questlong about dramatic art which many younsr students ín the University of Michigan could have answered as well as I. If any young man in the United States seeks a liberal edueation, deslring to become a dramatic critic in journalism or a dramatic amhor, he has no ohoiee at the I ent moment but to go to the University of Michigan. Ifthe qnestionasto the desirability of a dramatlcliterature.or of criticism, in this country were at Issue, there might be room for argument on the subject. But people do go in great numbers to see American plays ; thousands of journaliste discuss them ; milllons of dollars are iuvested In theatres. The only question at issue is whether the people nhall see American plays and read American criticisms written by trained and skilful men, or see and read merely the experimental work which iguorance, occasionally enlightened by genius, can offer them. Our Eastern untversities may well take a suggesüon from their western sister. I remain respectfully yours, Bronson Howard. New Rochelle, April 30. 1888. Mr. and Min. T.
