...Argos in regard to the events portrayed there. Agamemnon soon returns from Troy, bringing in his train the Trojan captive, Cassandra, of whom Clytaemnestra is jealous. Despite the king's request to have the prisoner treated gently, the queen orders her roughly into the palace. Cassandra foresees her tragic fate, but is unable to persuade the men of Argos that she is being lured to death. In despair, she enters the gates of the palace, which later are thrown open, and the queen is seen exulting over the murdered bodies of both Agamemnon and Cassandra. She then joins Aegisthus, whom...
...Back", in Act II. On several occasions the orchestra was a little too loud for the voices of the principals and the effectiveness of the lyrics marred by hurrying. The "Prophet" was well acted by J. J. Rowe '07, and his songs "Morocco" and "To Kill is Our Fate", were encored for their convincing interpretation. H. B.

One of the best numbers in the performance was the "Oh Gee!" duet by B. L. Young...

He went on to show how the Arabs themselves and the Numidian Berberes combined to form the Arabic empire; how, for two centuries this civilization completely dominated Spain...
...game gave the Harvard team a victory that was by no means deserved. The base-running was again very weak showing a decided falling off in form since the Andover game. Matthews and Randall were both put out on bases, while several other men only escaped a similar fate by Cornell's timely errors. Thirteen hits were made, including two home runs, which would indicate a slight improvement in batting over the work in recent games. The bunting too was more encouraging. The little fielding that was offered through Clarkson's splendid work, was not well accepted, five inexcusable errors...
