      CUI BONO?

      If this little entertainment shall give pleasure and

      be of profit to any who have set out on their

      toilsome journey into the realm of Latin

      Literature, the writer’s aim will

      be accomplished  

      PREFATORY NOTE

      I am greatly indebted to Mrs. C. H. Beeson and to Professor Frank J. Miller, of the University of Chicago. To the former, for her most scholarly and generous assistance in the correcting of the manuscript and for her many valuable suggestions throughout the work; to the latter, for his painstaking reading of the proof and for his kindly and helpful interest. In fact, it was largely due to the helpful uplift that came to some of my advanced classes, as well as to myself, from the presentation of Professor Miller’s Dramatizations from Vergil that these little plays were written.
