Queen Elizabeth, the foundress of West- minster, made the play a statutory obliga tion. It is largely dra to this that the old custom has continued for nearly four centuries.

Bon Jonzon, Cowley, Dryden and many other poets of lesser note were Westmin ster boys, and there is no doubt that the plays were a great stimulus to budding writers of verse. Their object was, how- ever, not so much to inspire young clasai- ciste, but to teach Westminsters a fluency in Latin speech, and polish and case in geature and elocution. It
