reasserting arguments which had_ been but was supplied from contemporary
overthrown, that Princeton succeeded in
giving the impression of having made
acase. Yale, on the other hand, argued
her points more soundly, but stated them
with less confidence. The result of the
debate was a triumph of tactics over
strength. This shows that Mr. Mer-
riam, instead of refuting the one or
two minor negative points which had —
not yet been met and insisting on the
necessity of neutralization or fortifica-
tion, should simply have restated the
affirmative case. Yale had so bent her
energies upon exposing the fallacies and
inconsistencies in Princeton’s attack, that
her own positive line of argument, well
stated in the first speeches, seems to
have been forgotten.
THE LESSON FOR YALE.
Although Yale’s work might have been
bettered in many ways, it was so good
that criticism is not needed. The one_
lesson to be learned from the debate is
that the emphatic statement and re-
enunciation of points is sometimes of
more effect than soundness of argument
and closeness of reasoning in establish-
ing them.
The judges were President Andrew
V. Raymond of Union College, Hon.
Wm. L. Strong of New York, and Prof.
Wm. A. Dunning of Columbia. The
Hon. John G. Carlisle presided.

GRADUATE DRAMATICS.
*¢ Royster Doyster®? Was Very Well
Supported—A Review.
The support by the University public
of the students of the Graduate Depart-
ment in their presentation of the old Eng-
lish comedies, has proved unexpectedly
gratifying. It is understood that the ex-
penses of the production of “Royster
Doyster” on May 2, which were not
small, will be entirely covered and a
surplus left from the ticket receipts of
something like $200. This ought to
leave things in excellent condition for
future work in this very important and
interesting line.
No plans are yet spoken of as to
another year, but the hope has been ex-
pressed that such a play will become an
annual feature at Yale. It is hard to
get the right play and it is hard enough
work when the choice is made to pre-
sent it in a way that will both interest
and please the audience. “The Knight
of the Burning Pestle’ was. an espe-
cially good play to present and the even-
ing was one of the most delightful en-
tertainments given in New Haven.
The comedy of “Royster Doyster”
was not nearly so favorable for repro-
duction, even after it was shortened, and
with all the appointments of accurate
and artistic costuming and good acting.
But the play was very well done and
was a further demonstration of the
strength of the English Graduate De-
partment.
The credit for the very thorough prep-
aration is given to Mrs. Charles Gould
Morris, who took her Ph.D. in the Yale
Graduate Department in 1898. She de-
signed a great many of the costumes
herself and they all were prepared under
her supervision. The costume for
“Royster Dovster” was taken from an
old wood cut. The idea for the min-
strels was given by an old stained glass
window in which they appear. And so
it was for all,—everything very care-
fully worked out and very true to the
time, as in the blue curtain which al-
ways at that period was at the back of
the stage in comedy.
