follow the lines on which so successful a
beginning was made last summer. SIX
PLAYS will be treated in a thorough and de-
tailed manner one each week (hve lectures)

Gus periods of the development of his genl-
US, include an equal proportion OF SUBJECTS
and styles. Thus there will be two TRACE
dies, Romeo and Juliet and King Lear;
two comedies Twelfth Night" and The
| Tempest" and two historical plays, King
John and king Henry "" As during
| last year. the method followed will be rath-
| er that of informal class work. afrordlng
an opportunity for minute and careful ex-
animation of the subject than that of for
NAL lectures. The three plays first named
