This rule was put into effect with the class entering in 1911 and so will apply to the present senior class at Princeton.

The name of the play is "The Cosmic Which and its charming originality lies in the fact that it is totally unintellgible to the audience. This effect is brightened by the dramatist's device of playing the fourth act first, and in finishing with the third act, while none of the characters appear on the stage while the curtain...
