...Crimson mentor Art Valpey's debut neared in 1948, the veteran Columbia squad, coached by Lou Little and paced by quarterback Gene Rossides and halfback Lou Kusserow, was a solid favorite. The Lions rolled up 26 first downs, a record for the school, and 480 yards gained, but this was not enough.

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...
