...quiet way, Tom Babe has spent the term making a contribution to Harvard drama that will not soon be equalled. His production of Wedekind's Spring's Awakening was the most ambitious and most successful on the Loeb mainstage this spring. Soon after, he proved himself an inventive comedian in the HDC's production of The Importance of Being Earnest.

Babe and Seltzer both propose supplementing the present by bringing a respected actor, director, or designer to the Loeb for a term, to work on one show and to be available to undergraduates the rest of the time. Chapman also favors this plan. Its chances of adoption, now slight, could be certain by a helping hand...
