...Geology, and the two in Psychology, are first offered this year. The latter deserve particular notice. They are both given by Professor Munsterberg and occupy one hour daily for six weeks. Course A consists of lectures with experimental demonstrations, in which the facts and theories which constitute our modern knowledge of the psychical life will be explained and illustrated. As a knowledge of psychology is especially important to teachers, these lectures will lay stress on those problems which lie on the border between psychology and pedagogy, and will emphasize the educational bearings of psychical facts. Course B would be given...

Johnston, is exaggerated, but its cleverness saves this from being objectionable...
...most difficult problem is the acting and the delivery of the lines. A little more than half the play is written in verse, and this is difficult enough for a modern to deliver if he keeps strictly to the metre and the rhythm. But when the music comes in, the task becomes harder still. Music to accompany all the parts other than the senarii has been composed for the occasion by Professor F. D. Allen, and these accompaniments follow the rhythm of the Latin verses and are in the main confined to two clarinets. If the ancient usage was followed...
