...football season is over down at Princeton and the fellows have set aside their childish things. The black and orange pennants are safely tacked over the mantle, the silver steins glisten in a row, and lights burn late as the chill dusk gathers in across the rolling lawns. Happy thoughts of golden autumn weekends linger, but the mood is one of manly anticipation: Bicker, once again, draws high...

He amused himself increasingly with watercolor landscapes, to which he gave a wet, soft and unconvincing glisten. .During World War I, Sargent sketched and painted at the front-an act of courage and enterprise which nevertheless achieved little. He had visited the U.S. on occasion, and never relinquished his U.S. citizenship. Toward the end he accepted a corn-mission to design murals for the rotunda and entrance hall of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, which he hoped would...
