"Dear Brutus"
FEBRUARY, 1927

The Players, under the direction of Mr. Frederick Packard, presented James Barrie's well-known "Dear Brutus" to the College in three performances and received congratulations on all sides for their excellent interpretation and production of the play. Floyd Dell, in Hanover at the time, declared, "The Players presented a very brilliant performance this afternoon of Barrie's 'Dear Brutus' and one which brought out very movingly the emotional quality of that satirical masterpiece. The difficult last act was done splendidly, and the scene with Margaret in the wood was intensely poignant. D. Gordon Graham as Dearth, Sally Drury as Margaret, and Mary Gile as Mrs. Dearth seemed to me to carry off the honors of the performance."

A new member of the College publication family has made its appearance in person of "The College," a weekly journal issued every Sunday morning subsidized by the College. The new paper is of four pages with four columns to the page and resembles in appearance the Manchester Guardian of England.

Page one is devoted entirely to news items, including accounts of all Saturday events and a column or more of world news sent from New York through the cooperation of Vincent Byers '15. Editorials, comments and communications will fill page two and it is hoped by those sponsoring the venture that this part of the contents will fill a valuable need in the College for a large open forum. We hope this phase of "The College" is successful but our faith in the desire of the undergraduates to express themselves receives a deadening blow when the quality of the Carnival Ball music is an outstanding topic of a long harangue in The Dartmouth.

"The College" will not contain any advertisements, the cost of publication being assumed by the College, and contributions will be solicited from members of the student body, although much of the material will be taken from products of English courses in composition. Although the first issues of the sheet were distributed free, it is planned to charge five cents per copy hereafter.
