This evening the Delta Upsilon Fraternity will give its first public performance of Nicholas Udall's "Ralph Roister Doister".

It is seldom we have an opportunity to see such an artistic production as we understand the presentation of this oldest of strictly English comedies provides. Although these revivals have been invariably successful in the past, they have not always received the support from the student body which they deserve. Not only are they valuable to the student of the drama, they furnish one of the most amusing and novel entertainments...
