The performance at Tufts has all the stigmata of bad amateurism: elaborate posturing; sporadic and phoney attempts at the proper accents; cliche characterizations; apple-cheeked students looking highly uncomfortable under assumed grey hair. The casting seems to have been done on the eenie-meenie-miney-mo system, but in spite of this and other mis- and malfeasances, the director, Marston Balch, is more to be pitied than censured.

The students had no caps and gowns; nor were their diplomas engraved in traditional fashion-just plain typed certificates. But if the surroundings were drab last week, the occasion was not. It was the first graduation of the Middle East Technical University, organized to overcome the lag in technical education in the underdeveloped Middle East, and to do it in a hurry.
