"THE VENERABLE DEAN" "
A SUGGESTION.

The phrase "the dean of dramatic critics is not
q happy one-because IL means, if it means any
thing the head chief of guild of writer's
about the drama. As no such guild exists, il is
difficult 10 perceive how it have a head. The
application of the phrase. however. to the under
signed, made by much younger writer, who
had the unusual wish TO express respect. The use
of the phrase has become general. and the sig
nifcant word venerable has been prehxed to it.
The designation was. at first. int ,nded kindly and
used in kindly way. The use however OF
the phrase THE venerable dean Of dramatic critics
or the OF the word venerable" at all. in
tices written with obvious intention and desire
to wound and dlsparage Is manfestIy absurd.
Such articles, carefully forwarded by the authors
OF them, solicitous that their abuse should be
read by "the dean" reach the office of The Trib-
une frequently and in excellent state Of pres
ervation. The suggestion. accordingly. is made
that a writer who does not know better than to
designate the rereraJle dean a person whom
he is stigmatzing s dishonest. prejudIced. fool
ish. etc. would do well to study the English Ian
guage. Venerable" means worthy Of veneration
Of reverence. There is, of course no desire 10
restrict indulgence in the harmless amusement of
viifyinG the dean" His writings apDear 10
cause anguish in many bosoms. and if suffering
can be relieved by going for the old mau''-by
all means 'let 'em CO. He has become used To
censure. in the course Of a long life and he does
not expect that his demise will be hastened by its
continuance. The only impression OF which he Is con
scious when Elancing at the opening words of such
screedS, is of mild wonder that with sucb
earnest good Will to the business of disbursement
something better is not produced 1t would be
cruel to check the outpourng Of provincial wrath.
When your sermon barrel runs low said an old
clergyman, TO a beginner in pulpit oratory. ..and
you are hard pressed for a subject, pitch into the

persons dissatisfied with the writings of the
DEAN TO turn in and write something themselves
