...most noticeable fault was the over-prominent, strained and labored acting. There were many groupings of useless characters on the stage, and a tendency towards long and wearing some soliloquies. The last two acts showed much skill in construction, and went off fairly smoothly. The scene chosen for all three acts was the square in front of the College of Beauvais. It was well made up, and the moonlight effect in the last act was excellent. The costumes were especially good, and in keeping with the characters...

The introduction of an independent committee simply means the overthrow of this well...

As far as possible dates have been made for numerous interclub debates in order that the work may be systematized. The debates will also be made as public as possible, not only to make it more worth while to be a representative of a team, but also to give the men more assurance when they speak before large audience. Formality in choosing the men will widen the interest in the clubs. These changes from the policy...
