...Ibsen's plays this seemed to us to run the most smoothly, to give the most semblance of a real slice of life; sordid, yes, but still smacking more of some possible truth than most of the products of this despondent Norseman. Other Ibsen dramas have always left the impression of extreme morbidity, with a moral to be learned, but shown in a most unconvincing tale. This tale stands cross examination better. All this is due, no doubt, to Miss Yurka's presentation. In less skilled hands. "The Wild Duck" could easily be produced as no more than another Ibsen...
Like most Andover boys, he went to Yale. A suit-pressing business which he organized paid all his expenses, infuriated old-established rivals, left him a large surplus after his graduation (1913). One of his employes in the pressing business, a bright Italo-Amcrican boy of eight or nine, so delighted Undergraduate Hamilton (then about 18) that he legally adopted him, later sent him through Andover and Yale.

...golfing freak, the crowds at Muirfield followed him throughout the tournament. His swing is jerky, the face of his club twists sharply at the moment of impact. He lunges at the ball, moves his feet.

For twelve years he wandered and wondered, hoping that he had been justified. He returned at last to the scene of his crime. Her presence confronted him, mocked him, awakened him to a course he had not thought of taking?to give himself...
...until the penultimate frame that the auburn-topped sophomore got into any real difficulty, however. Peterson started the downfall with a single to left, and took second on Caristen's second hit of the day. Wilmer flied out, but Prager walked, filling the bases. Walker's hit scored Peterson, but on the same play Prager was caught off second. At this juncture, Howard Whitmore '29 was sent in to quell the Quaker bats. He was greeted by Becker's single to right, which was responsible for the last Pennsylvania run. Slaughter was out when his bunt on the third strike...
