...large measure, the beginning of the year is the most exciting because it is clear then perhaps how different a place this is from any other in society. The students who enter are strangers in an ancient place. To be sure, the new student and old will continue the quest for Harvard, the place--a concrete entity that you may lay your hand upon. It is not only a place to me, but a free association of minds which each generation must create anew.

Henderson is also a psychological mess. His quest is for knowledge of Grun tu molani (the way to live). What he carries with him is the doom of self-doubt. "Well, Your Highness, you've got a good thing here," he says to Itelo, prince of the gentle Arnewi. But in a vainglorious attempt to rid the Arnewi...
