The list of Academicians in the Department of Literature -- and I am not competent to speak of the men in the Department of Art and in the Department of Music -- is worthily completed by the name of one who in these strenuous Philistine days is an admirable type of the genuine, leisurely, high-minded man of letters, George E. Woodberry. Mr. Woodberry is a distinguished poet, critic and biographer; a man of sound culture, wide knowledge and fastidious taste, just the kind of person that every American community needs.
