Centennial Year activities at St. Dunstan's College, the college Dramatic Society last night pre- sented T. S. Eliot's stirring two- act drama, "Murder in the Cath- edral". The drama, unique in form in modern English literature, was under the direction of Rev. Ad- rian Arsenauit of the College fa- culty.

imitating the Greek tragedies, ”Murder in the Cathedral" in- cludes a chorus, a group of scrub- women of the Cathedral church. The story revolves around the re- turn of Thomas A. Becket from his seven-year exile on the Coti- tinent, the temptations which he was forced to combat, and finally his murder. The two-act drama includes as an interlude the last sermon of St. Thomas, his sermon on Christmas Day.
