Last summer the relatively small student body of Williams (1,121) boasted a clambake caterer in Maine, a salmon fisherman in Alaska, a supermarket meatcutter in Maine, a mosquito inspector in New Jersey, a Pinkerton detective in Indiana, a labor union organizer in New York City, a toll collector in Buffalo, a CIA courier in Washington, and a groom for a string of race horses traveling between Maine and Delaware...
