...desire to be a drama wonk, Seltzer strives to establish a balance between the hours spent on the Loeb's mainstage, those teaching classes and tutorial, and those in the stacks researching his book. He seems to have done it. Besides teaching the second half of English 125, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Seltzer is supervising the Quadricentennial program, will direct Julius Caesar, act in King Lear, and is writing a book on the styles of Elizabethan acting...

With each honorary degree, the President will pronounce a short testimonial, composed in a flowery language reminiscent of the eighteenth century...
There are four parts to Adams House; three of them are attractive, comfortable--relics of an era when the function of a building was still good living. Two of the three are Westmorly Court and Randolph Hall, the former quietly Tudor, the latter faintly Gothic, both of them built around the turn of the century to provide elegant Gold Coast young gentlemen with elegant young apartments (F. D. Roosevelt '04 lived appropriately in Westmorly South, now B-entry). The third part is Apthorp House, Master Reuben A. Brower's official home, where he entertains and serves tea to students, guests...
