Henry Adams in the 1870's faced it, and came up with an interesting suggestion--lectures given as a dialectic between two professors with a student question period.

From the owners' enclosure at Longchamps he has elbowed his way into the international set of Prince Aly Khan and French Textile Mogul Marcel Boussac. As his gentleman jockey-trainer, McLane hopes to hire...
