...forego. In that case, after the organization and the Deans' Office have tried but failed to get an adviser, the Dean's Office should assume that function itself.

...remains for four well known members of the local company to hold up the major portion of the play. Jan Farrand, too often the temptress in Brattle works, handles the role of Octavia with a naive idealism which is believable despite its inherent weakness.
