Not only will they purify athletics but they will place restrictions on them which will keep them within bounds.

This requires an amount of thought and work and time on his part that cannot be too highly appreciated. At present the final cast of characters is not definitely decided, though it will be announced in a few days. It combines, however, some forty members of the Cercle Francais. The actors proper number eight, the various ballets over twenty, the singers and musicians making...
