SHAKESPEARE, SHAKSPERE, ETC.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - If the "Member of English 2" who maintains that there is only one correct method of spelling Shakespear's name, will consult the Saturday Review for Oct. 21, he will find that, in a criticism of a Shakespeare Concordance by Mr. Davenport Adams, that journal, which is certainly an authority, not only spells the name "Shakspeare," but further remarks: "Mr. Adams gives a practical illustration of the license now given to cultivated persons to spell Shakspeare in whatever way they like, by adopting one style on the title page and another on the text." From this it would appear that the Shakspeare Club has a perfect right to spell its name in whatever manner it pleases, and a little eccentricity on its part cannot be regarded in the serious way that the "Member of English 2" is disposed to take it.
