He worked his way through Princeton selling football tickets, graduated in 1940 with the school's top honor prize. After earning his doctorate (thesis: "The Imagery of Sophocles' Antigone") at Princeton, he joined the faculty and became head of the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship Program, which aids future college teachers. When Princeton's trustees began looking for a new president...
