...should like through your columns to start a discussion with relation to a matter, which I am sure will be of interest to a very large number of students. As many college men know, though only imperfectly, the Oedipus Tyrannus of Sophoces was presented in Sanders Theatre in the spring of 1881. More than this very few men know or care, for all seem to be under the impression that it is interesting only to students of the Classics.

White is in favor of the undertaking of another play, though perhaps not on such a grand scale as before. His idea is rather to have two short plays, a Latin comedy...
