Today the author lives quietly in a small dramatic villa perched on a crag above the Pacific near Carmel. Her three oldest children are now away from home. "I'd like to live with a man," she admits, "but I find men in real life don't come up to my fantasies. I want culture, spirit...

Nevertheless we felt it our responsibility to observe that the matter has not yet been resolved to the best advantage of our students. We would urge the faculty, in the context of its complete review of undergraduate education to consider the importance of the arts in the intellectual development of every educated man and woman...
