...place of individual instruction to the students, class work has been substituted and, judging by the improvement shown in the speaking on the Boylston stage last year, this work has proved to be successful. It is now intended that those who have studied elocution, continue to work in unison by forming a club.

The music which the late Sir Sterndale Bennett was writing for the same tragedy is conceived more in the style of Mendelssohn's Greek tragedies ("Antigone" and "OEdipus") than in that adopted by his successor at Cambridge University. Only two pieces, unfortunately, were left complete - the overture and funeral march...
