Volume VI 25 A DRAMA Scene.— Basement of Wilder Hall. Bible Class in Operation. Professor. Miss Curtis, to what class of liter- ature do you consider that the book of Job belongs? Miss C. (in decided tones). I think the book contains a great teaching. It has been called a drama, but I do not think it is. Pm sure we shouldn’t want to sit through a representation of it on the stage. I consider it, therefore, as a didactic poem. [Class assumes an aspect of deep thought.] Professor. Miss Dougherty, what is your opinion ? Miss D. Well, I think, in fact, I had not thought of anything of the sort. But I think — well I entirely agree with Miss Curtis. [This brilliant statement wakes the class.] Professor. Miss Smith, have you any other suggestions to offer ? Miss T. S. (with alacrity). I think the book is a drama. It has the stage setting of a drama, and then there is so much rhapsody in it. This rhapsody is seen throughout the book ; for instance, when the Lord speaks through the storm ; and (breathlessly) there is also much action, not so much, perhaps, where the servants keep coming and speaking to Job, as where they all sit still and listen.

Seldom if ever has matter of so great interest been presented in such bulk to the world at large. This, however, is only one of the thousand advantages of the 1901 Llamarada, over all others, so we need not dwell at any length on the peculiar privilege offered you. Suffice it to say that you are about to read the annals of the Juniors. The honorary members of 1901 are most worth- ily and aptly chosen, being Frances S. Smith, A.B., a noted Smithite, Marguerite Sweet, Ph.D., of Vas- sar, Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke, Anna S. Thatcher, B.L., of Wilder fame, Louise Wallace, A. B., noted biologist and frequenter of Wood’s Hole, and William C. Hammond, A Man. Margaret Fleming Aitken has immortalized her name by her adequate fulfillment of the office of
