...Between Verses." According to Jean Sergent, director of the Victor Hugo House, the great man himself was partly to blame for his neglect as an artist. Being at the top of French letters, he could not bear to be of lesser rank in any other field, and so he gave the impression that his art was a mere bagatelle to occupy his spare time. The drawings, he said, were "pen scratchings" that he turned out "between verses, during moments of reverie, and almost unconsciously with what ink remained...

Zeph's Stewart's special hope is that his forthcoming duties as Master of Lowell House will not reduce his involvement in Harvard University to an involvement solely in Harvard College. Mr. Stewart, a man who likes to keep several irons in the fire, sees the neglect of scholarship as the educational administrator's easiest, and yet possibly most dangerous error; for in his view an important task of a House (and its Master) is to keep the undergraduates aware of what life is like in the rest of the University...
