		Matthews was a well-known figure in theatrical and literary circles in Paris and London as well as in New York City.
		He began to teach at Columbia Univ. in 1891 and in 1900 was appointed the first professor of dramatic literature in any American university.

	Columbia News ::: 'The Brander Matthews Dramatic Museum at Columbia University,' through Jan. 27
		Named for James Brander Matthews (1852¨C1929), the nation's first professor of drama, the exhibition celebrates the history of one of the oldest theater collections in the United States.
		Appointed to the Columbia College faculty in 1892, Matthews began collecting theater-related memorabilia in 1911, convinced that the only way to learn about drama was through first-hand acquaintance with artifacts, images, and texts of the theatrical past.
		Matthews then donated his own collection of theatrical memorabilia to the University to support the burgeoning study of world-wide theater history.

	Matthews, Brander Criticism and Essays
		Matthews is best known as one of the most popular and influential American literary critics of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
		Although in the past he had championed contemporary authors, he became reluctant to grant the new writers canonical credentials and was alarmed by their modernism; they, in turn, along with their influential advocates, dismissed him as an academic and reactionary remnant of a genteel, moribund Victorianism.
		His early years were shaped by his family's immense wealth: Matthews was raised to pursue the career of a millionaire, to be a gentleman able to supervise the family fortune.

	The Novel, The Novelette, And The Short Story
		It is customary at the present day to use the word "short-story," which Professor Brander Matthews has suggested spelling with a hyphen to indicate that it has a special and technical significance.
		The Formula of Brander Matthews.—From the very outset, the currency of Poe's short-stories was inter-national; and his concrete example in striving for totality of impression exerted an immediate influence not only in America but even more in France.
		Matthew Arnold, in a well-known sonnet, spoke of Sophocles as a man "who saw life steadily and saw it whole"; and if we judge the novelist and the writer of short-stories by their attitudes toward life, we may say that they divide this verse between them.

		Matthews' determination to call Britons foreigners, that is his matter, but feelings of this kind, to do any harm, must be both reciprocal and general.
		Matthews has no mind for reciprocity ; he advises Cousin Sam to have nothing to do with John Bull's second-rate performances, but he feels a very pardonable pride in the fact that John Bull more and more reads his cousin's short stories and other things of-the kind.

	An Unpublished Reminiscence of James Fenimore Cooper
		Through its acknowledged link with the Matthews text, Mather's reminiscence can be seen to reflect not only the extensive evaluation of Cooper (and other American literary figures) being published in the 1880s, but the terms of that evaluation as well.
		Brander Matthews' essay, as we have seen, appeared in 1889, Cooper's centenary.
		(Matthews, "Centenary", 798.) It should be added that Matthews, in turn, echoes the Lounsbury biography, which he mentions with praise.

		Matthews: "In the case of the first man to use an anecdote there is originality, in the case of the second there is plagiarism; with the third, it is lack of originality; and with the fourth it is drawing from a common stock."

		Gathering outside the Brander Matthews Hall for the latest eagerly anticipated world premiere opera production, students could see the lights in the small office on the 6th floor of the brownstone across the street on 117th, where Béla Bartók had labored away in a position created for him by the first Ditson Fund grant.
		Luening, a composer whose background included directing operas and musicals and even a short stint as actor and stage manager, was reluctant to accept the post, since it came with a salary of $5,000, a reduction of $500 from his current position at Bennington College in Vermont.
		The planners of Brander Matthews Hall had a specific vision for their theater: a small auditorium where students could gain the maximum theatrical experience by playing to a small audience numerous times, instead of to a large audience once or twice, and which would be at least “partially experimental.”

	MFA in Dramaturgy - Academic Programs - Theatre Arts - Division of Performing Arts - The University of Iowa
		At Iowa, the tradition of new play dramaturgy extends back to the founding of the department in the 1930s.
		Along with such figures as Columbia's Brander Matthews and Yale's George Pierce Baker, Iowa's first Chair of Theatre Arts, E.C. Mabie, pioneered the development of drama as an independent discipline in which scholars and artists could train to create and lead the theatre of the future.
		Under the leadership of Oscar Brownstein in the 1970s, the MFA Program in Playwriting offered one of the country’s first courses in Dramaturgy, through which MFA candidates in Playwriting served as dramaturgs on department productions of classic plays.

	Bad Writing
		Back in 1912, the critic Brander Matthews damned the scholarship of his day for its "endless quotations and endless citations and endless references," its "entangled" facts, its shameless taste for "interminable controversy over minor questions," its careless assumption that every reader had an "acquaintance with the preceding stages of the discussion."
		But though it still commits these faults more often than not, bad academic writing nowadays has become something worse than an aesthetic offense.
		Let us organize and combine a party to pursue truth and new thought, let us call it the liberal party, and let us all stick to each other, and back each other up.

	The fortunes of formalism by David Yezzi
		f the three books currently on my night table—a flaking early edition of the poems of Abraham Cowley, a coffee-table book on wooden boats, and a book from 1911 entitled A Study of Versification, by Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University—most worrisome is the book on versification.
		As Brander Matthews himself once famously said: “A gentleman need not know Latin, but he should have at least forgotten it.” Prosody is not far behind Latin in terms of its obsolescence, even within the specialized discipline of poetry.
		It has shown itself to be the best instrument of the essential energy of the English-speaking peoples in their loftiest flights of imagination.” Go back to the text.
