Much interest has always been aroused by this theorem, which asserts that a triangle is isosceles when two of the internal bisectors of its angles are equal. Recently McBride has given a proof, together with a selection from the numerous others which have been published. The following proof, based mainly on Euclid, Book III, differs from any I have come across, and establishes a slightly wider theorem.
