...paper states that the choruses composed by Dr. G. A. Macfarren for the recent performances in Greek at Cambridge and Eaton of the "Ajax" of Sophocles are in unison throughout, with accompaniment for harp (representing the lyre), and a small orchestra, reinforced by a drum.

The only reason that can be alleged for not putting them on is the expense which it would entail upon this poverty-stricken institution. Perhaps the Corporation think it good policy to have the story get abroad that Harvard College is economical of everything but the lives of its students...
