...University broke with tradition last spring and appointed a man who is not a faculty member--John Hersey, the novelist--to be Master of Pierson College.

In 17th century Holland, where drinking, smoking, gambling, even lute playing were castigated, the artist's twaddling codgers, topless prostitutes and leering rakes mime ribald vignettes...
