...propositions set the play's anguished tone. One derives from Christianity, and the other from Greek mythology. Both involve modern man's reversal of his traditional beliefs and show how present desolation, ironically, was born in past faith.

In the mid-30's the school trustees decided to admit male students and to open an undergraduate division. And so was born Calvin Coolidge College. Each institution was more or less autonomous, though the Trustees were obviously more interested in the fate of the Law School than in that of the College...
