...members of the University help the nine at this time? They can, in at least one way. The number of candidates who have presented themselves is less here than at either Yale or Princeton. In fact, it is hardly larger than the number who tried last year when the chances for new men were so much smaller.

This two-fold capacity was to each a hindrance as well as a help It helped them in adapting their ideas to the needs of the stage, but at the same time it tended to produce artificiality. The beginning of Boucicault's dramatic work was practically in "London Assurance," which appeared about 1840. It was criticised as "a mere imitation of Sheridan," but Sheridan in his turn was indebted to Congreve and Moliere. Boucicault, like other English dramatists, makes little appeal to life.
