be a complete attendance of the classes in Reading and Speaking this week and
next." Charles Townsend Copeland (1860-1954) was a theatre critic
and poet who ascended at Harvard from instructor to Boylston
Professor of Rhetoric. Very popular with students, who called him "Copey",
Copeland was renowned for his poetry readings at the University in the
1930s. This letter was probably written to one of his teaching assistants.
