The Latin Play described in yesterday's CRIMSON will arouse a species of interest among the students which has been allowed to sleep for about thirteen years. In 1881 the Greek department produced a play in Sanders Theatre which was remarkably successful, both as an artistic performance and as a reason for renewed interest in the classics. Since then nothing of the kind has been attempted here till this year. Now the Latin department proposes to give the Phormio of Terence as the play nearest approaching our own theatrical methods. This performance will be only one of a series which have been and will be given by different colleges; Yale and Vassar have very recently produced something of the kind. These plays have a sphere of usefulness before them in throwing off the reputation before them in throwing off the reputation for dryness and lack of life which many college men give the classics. Such performances show that the old life was not so far separated as might be from our own new life. The particular play in question will be given as nearly as possible in exact imitation of its original setting; this will make it of great value in an educational way. There are many difficulties in the way of this enterprise, but we heartily wish the promoters the best of success.
