filled the auditorium of the Corcoran

the poets birthday. DR.. Felix Emanuel
Schelling, professor of English 1tera-

was the speaker. His subject was the

science or philosophy, but confined
himself to delineating humanity, from
the highest to the lowest, as known to
him in his own countrymen. Yet that
fact explains why his plays are under
stood, read and acted.
