Something approaching the importance which undergraduates attach to their studies and to extra-curricular activities is depicted in Weller's book, however. Brant, the young, troubled assistant professor going nowhere, and unable to "find" himself in the role of an educator, is pictured with a right amount of pity and disdain. Plainly, the great value of Not To Eat, Not For Love is that is treated the Harvard undergraduate not as an adolescent facing an adolescent's problems, but as a man facing problems involved with particular environment and situation.

Says Biographer Brant: "Dolley Madison's spelling of her name became apparent the instant family manuscripts were looked into. She, her husband, her son and her lawyers all spelled it 'Dolley.' It appears that way in the original text of legal documents, but is commonly changed to 'Dolly' in copies made by clerks. Her correspondence with the sculptor [John H.] Browere specifically rejects...
