...unfortunate that, almost at the very beginning of the fall term, the illness of Mr. Hayes prevented him from giving instruction in elocution. A large number of men had joined the half course in elocution, and to them the knowledge that Mr. Hayes will resume his courses immediately will be especially welcome. The faculty have decided, however, that in the case of English 10 the recitations shall take place three times instead of twice a week for the balance of the year, and that in consequence the course shall count as a full course.

The grouping of the actors on the stage assisted the unity of the piece by directing the attention to the central figure. The plot itself was almost bodily borrowed from the piece of Neophron, but great skill is shown in leading up to the catastrophe. The poet makes us understand the conduct of Medea, although no real sympathy with her unnatural deed is possible. Medea herself was, in the minds of the Athenians, a real and terrible woman...
