...there be no doubt about it! The concert reading of Sophocles' two great tragedies at the Loeb last night was superbly performed. By all means go to hear the readings directed by George Hamlin, and marvel as I did at the skill with which undergraduate voices bring back a Greek tragedian and two modern English poet-translators to an honorable life in Cambridge...
...close attention as you marvel, for though the rendering is flawless, the choice of style for the two readings should be carefully studied--and questioned. I've attended Loeb main stage performances regularly for the last two years now, and I find the successes of each performance becoming predictable.

Nor, surely, does he blaze new intellectual trails by resolutely declaring his opposition to Harvard's degeneration into "an intellectual factory capable of nothing more than spewing out a myriad of narrow-minded technicians and pedants." Yet Mr. Welch's stirring prose seems informed...
