In an age of such thoroughness of stage production and action as the present, where hardly a thing is left to the imagination of the audience, the reappearance of this play can be nothing but a great stimulant to everyone. Those personal powers of visualizing which have laid dormant in most of us are awakened to splendid things by the complete success with which Dame suggestion is introduced throughout...

It was alma mater's loving and unquestioning tribute to the brave youth she had nurtured...

However, fifty years ago everyone studied Greek and Latin, but today it is a very small minority that choose the classics. In reality, we are most certain of the fact that everything is in a state of flux. Who can tell what educational system will reign in 1975?
