Whether it also, as the Yale Dramatic Association hoped, stimulateed college dramatic activity must remain somewhat open to question. It is quite possible, though, that the three or four top-rate shows like Miss Julie, Finnigans Wake, and Deathwatch set standards of acting and production techniques which the other groups will try to emulate.
