...which young Moss served six miserable years as "social director" and resident clown. The sleepless grind of "making fun" for the guests-an occupation also survived by Danny Kaye, Gene Kelly, Herman Wouk and dozens of others-consisted of reciting Shakespeare by the campfire, impersonating Fanny Brice, staging a full-length musical each week, supervising endless Spanish Fiestas and Greenwich Village Frolics. Mr. Axeler's establishment in Vermont was really more a concentration than a summer camp, with the red-shirted boss terrorizing the staff from horseback and always galloping well out of reach when it came time...

Administrative responsibilities were assigned to the Faculty Committee on Advanced Standing; and the full Faculty, at a meeting last May 19, voted to "authorize course credit for special supervised study by Freshmen...in order to permit, under the direction of this Committee, experiments designed to intensify the intellectual experience of the freshman year."
