...professional calibre in the Harvard community, Miss Scott has it. Her wry and seemingly effortless work in "The Judgement of Paris," and especially "By A Goona-Goona Lagoon," marked two of the show's high points. Also charming in small ways were Johanna Linch, as Mrs. Juniper, and Helen Raisz, as Miss Minerva Oliver. Diana Sterling contributed an energetic moment to the production through her lead in the "Circe" dance sequence...

Music too is one of his great interests, and next to his desk at the Institute is a small phonograph with a stack of records nearby. At the end of my interview with him, he put a Mexican folk-dance on the record-player and said, "Don't go just now. Wait, this is very good." And then as the sound of music filled the room...
