USC misspells Shakespeare's name on statue

LOS ANGELES -- Visitors to the University of Southern California might mutter, "What fools these mortals be," while looking at a queen of Troy statue and see William Shakespeare's name seemingly misspelled at the base. "To E, or not to E, that is the question," the school responded when asked why Shakespeare's name is missing the last letter E in a quotation from him. It said Shakespeare's name has been spelled many ways over the years, and it settled on an 18th-century spelling because of the work's "ancient" feel.
