Although the first two nights' performances were enacted before a decidedly small audience the. at tendance grew as the run pro gressed so that the final produc tions of each of the plays were ex ceptionally well attended, in com menting on the success of the ven ture into the realm of Elizabethan drama Miss H.

LIBRARY DISPLAYS DICKENS EXHIBIT Rare Copies "Pickwick Papers" Shown. In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the first appear ance of Charles Dickens famous "Pickwick Papers" the University library has placed In Its exhibit case in the front hall of the library a collection of rare first editions and copies of first editions of the "Pickwick Papers" and other of Dickens' works. According to Miss Craig of the library staff it was hoped that the exhibit could be placed in the case by March 31 which is the date of the first appearance of the "Pick wick Papers," but it was impos sible to get the collection together at that time. Rarest Piece. One of the rarest pieces of the collection is a first edition of Dick ens' famous unfinished mystery novel "Edwin Drood." Up until the present time there has been four successful conclusions to the story. It is interesting to speculate how the story would have ended if the intervention of death had not made it Impossible for Dickens to finish it. Among the collection is a copy of the proceedings qf a mock trial using the evidence given by Dick ens in his novel. The trial was con ducted by the Dickens Fellowship in 1914. Everything went well in the trial until G. B. Shaw entered the proceedings and in true Shaw fashion refused to treat them se riously. Other books in the collection in ( Continued on Page 2).
