Classical Club Plays.

The Classical Club has decided to give a Greek play and arrangements are now in progress for the production of "Ajax" of Sophocles. The play will be given in an informal manner before the club on February 26. The actors will read their lines from the manuscript and will probably make no attempt at costumes. The play is divided into several acts and consists principally of dialogues.

A Latin play, "Eunchus" of Terence, will also be given before the club in March. The play is very long and an English translation will probably be read. As it is divided into nine acts and is composed of the same characters throughout its entire length, there will be two men to impersonate each character, one to take it up during the first few acts and the other to continue it to the end. The committee in charge of both plays is composed of Dr. Rand, Mr. Barry and Mr. Cary.
