so noted in the synopsis was a
play, "Aeolus," concerning the
marriage of brothers and sisters. F
Prof. Turner said the ancient
playgoers were very shocked by'
this.
Still another find was that
Euripides had written a play on
the Oedipus legend. Althoughonly
a few lines are known, it seemsI
that Euripides presented Oedipus
as being blinded accidentally be
fore the action of the play. Other
lines found from the play indicate
a description of the sphinx which
harassed Thebes.
Prof. Turner also noted that
Euripides wrote two plays, now
lost, concerning the. legend of the
golden fleece.

"Russia's great cholera epidem-
ic of the 19th century was more
than just a 'magnificent belly-
ache'," Prof. Roderick McGrew
said in his lecture yesterday.
"Historians are discovering that
much of the cultural development
of the country and the evolution
of political and medical institu-
tions are entangled in the effects
Prof. McGrew is a member of
the faculty of the University of
Missouri,
Because the epidemic flourished
in Ru'ssia from 1823 until 1926,
the country was never really free
of this influence during this cru-
cial period of -its development,
Prof. McGrew said.I
"Three areas of Russian culture
were affected by the cholera epi-
demic: the medical developments
of the time, administrative his-
tory and the operation of a cen-
tralized autocratic system, and
the development of the society at
that time.
"The disease made its first ap-
pearance in 1817 in British India,
and by 1825 it had infected all of
Asia," McGrew explained. "It
reached England and France in
1833 and had a great influence in
bringing about' English reform
laws df that period. It also ag-
gravated post-revolutionary prob-
lems in France.
