COPELAND READS BIBLE TO FRESHMEN AT UNION

Speaking before a capacity audience in the Union last evening, soft-spoken, 81-year-old Charles T. Copeland, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, Emeritus, read several selections from the Old and New Testaments to the Class of 1944.

Expressing his appreciation that so many came to hear him, "Copey" said he believed it was far better to hear the Bible read aloud than to hear it in church with the accompanying drama and deep emotion. The Bible is part of a solemn ritual, according to Copey and should not be read with dramatic enthusiasm.
