Walter J. Bate, professor of English, "will conduct a tutorial program for two or three freshmen with exceptional ability and interest in English literature," and William Alfred, assistant professor of English, plans an informal seminar in literature...
...View From the Bridge, a powerful and almost successful attempt at a new kind of poetic realism in the field of tragedy. Robert J. Lurtsema brought first-rate dynamism and nobility to the leading role of Eddie Carbone. Dana Bate was fine as his older cousin Marco. And Dean Gitter '56 played the lawyer Alfieri with intelligence...
