Either of these courses seems equally bad, and we cannot believe that the amount of time necessarily employed in looking up a small point in history would not be better employed in the more general work which is sacrificed in order to write the theses. At any rate, since they represent so much work they ought to count at least a third of the annual marks...

Thus, there will be no attempt to make the theatre seem open to the sky, and no masks will be worn. It is well established that the object of the mask was to make the features of the actors seem distinct to those who sat in the furthest part of the immense theatres, and also to help the adjustment of the mouth-piece, which was necessary to give sufficient distinctness...
