<p>HOW TO CATCH A GENIUS</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Prologue</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Professor C. (for Claude) Sidney Magnabrayne, now an associate professor</p>
<p>of forensics at the Covington, Kentucky, Center for The Ohio State Uni-</p>
<p>versity is on campus for two days at Virginia Tech, hereinafter known</p>
<p>as the university, for a faculty interview for a position in the Department</p>
<p>of Urban Forensics. He has just concluded a long and tiring day</p>
<p>that virtually terminates his visit and tomorrow morning his host, Dr.</p>
<p>George A. Blurt who is Chairman of the Department at Virginia Tech, will</p>
<p>hopefully, make his pitch to hire Sid Magnabrayne while driving the</p>
<p>latter to Roanoke to catch his plane.</p>
<p>Our guest has returned to his suite at the Lake Terrace Hilton from</p>
<p>an evening in the home of the Blurts where he was beautifully wined</p>
<p>and dined by the charming Mrs. Blurt. The evening went fine through</p>
<p>dinner, but Blurt, an uncompromising Beethoven buff, was insisting</p>
<p>that his guest endure listening to all those symphonies. Fortunately</p>
<p>for Dr. Magnabrayne, prolonged torture was avoided because of a local</p>
<p>power failure that cut off the record playing in the midst of the</p>
<p>especially redundant Sixth. They did not play the Fifth because they</p>
<p>killed that before dinner. Just about that time, Mrs. Blurt emerged</p>
<p>from the kitchen only to be asked by George to please drive Magnabrayne</p>
<p>back to the motel, because he did not think he should drive so soon</p>
<p>after dinner (or maybe because of what he had before dinner.) Mrs. Blurt</p>
<p>dutifully drives her guest back to the Lake Terrace Hilton. Just as</p>
<p>they arrive at the motel, the town power comes back on and Magnabrayne</p>
<p>says thanks and good night to his charming hostess.</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>ACT I</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scene 1</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sid Magnabrayne, all alone now, rushes into the motel room to call his</p>
<p>wife, and he's already 10 minutes late on the promised call. As Scene</p>
<p>1 opens, we find Sid leafing the pages in the local phone book for the</p>
<p>Covington, Kentucky Area Code. So he dials 606----then 5-5-5-­-</p>
<p>then 1-2-1-2. (For those unfamiliar with Long Distance dialing, what</p>
<p>Sid is trying to do is find out his own phone number which was changed</p>
<p>recently---as a matter of fact about 26 months ago.) The number he is</p>
<p>calling will give him his phone number.He knows this from experience.</p>
<p>He begins to speak:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Operator, would you give me the phone number of Dr. C. Sidney Magna-­-</p>
<p>brayne in Covington Heights............No, I'm sorry I've forgotten the</p>
<p>street address but we're the only Magnabraynes in Covington if I do say</p>
<p>so.......Well thank you operator for your compliment, but we are not the</p>
<p>only Magnabraynes in Kentucky.......I know there are two in Lexington...</p>
<p>.......669-5000; thank you very much operator, it was nice talking to</p>
<p>you too. (The phone in Covington rings.) Tillie? Is that you dear?</p>
<p>This is Claudie......I wanted to tell you about my visit before I went</p>
<p>nighty nite. Yes, dear,....I used the SCOPE......matter of fact I took</p>
<p>an extra swig in the Men's Room just before going in to see the Vice</p>
<p>President.......Oh, he was fine, we talked all hour about Dave Brubeck,</p>
<p>a friend of his, I gathered......No, I didn't find out much about the V.P.,</p>
<p>but I had the sneaking feeling that behind all that Brubeck stuff was</p>
<p>a mental x-ray machine that was tuned on-----and on me.......Hope I'm</p>
<p>okay.......I tell you one thing, Tillie?.......Right, I sure wouldn't</p>
<p>want to get in a poker game with him...........why he'd know every card you</p>
<p>had without even looking!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tillie, they say there's 10,000 people here, but it isn't like Broad</p>
<p>Street in Covington, I'll tell you that......Town's dead as a doornail</p>
<p>until about noon, then everyone must get out of his cave and get in his</p>
<p>car to go somewhere.....Traffic’s murder.....Tillie, it's the least bit</p>
<p>primitive........No, I'm not being unfair because I was going to add</p>
<p>that it is also clean. Tillie, the sky is blue, real blue, deep blue,</p>
<p>with beautiful clouds.......They all lit up just before dinner; and</p>
<p>Tillie so was the Chairman; if I had downed what he did I would have</p>
<p>been stoned. Tillie, the country is beautiful here. All this green</p>
<p>grass, no coal smoke, just green grass and big buildings......Most</p>
<p>of the university buildings are stone and they call it N & W Gothic.</p>
<p>.....Ever hear of that in Art School, Tillie? They’ve even got a</p>
<p>lake on the campus. No, I didn't see any boats.</p>
<p> Mrs. Blurt, Oh, Tillie---she's a doll---almost as pretty as you</p>
<p>and nearly as good a cook, but don't....no, no,now don't worry about</p>
<p>my doing that. Tillie, you will love this place. The women go to</p>
<p>parties and play bridge all day long. Sometimes, they go to four</p>
<p>parties a day!.......Think of that, maybe you could gain a little weight</p>
<p>here, you know the doctor said you were too underweight to be healthy.</p>
<p>Sure, there's a DAR and also there a D of C too. No, there isn't</p>
<p>much drinking here, except the Chairman, Dr. Blurt, looks to me like</p>
<p>he might be overdoing it, but maybe he was just testing me. There are</p>
<p>more Women's clubs than I ever heard of. Tillie, what's an inter-</p>
<p>mediate woman? They have a club here. I asked the Dean, and he didn't</p>
<p>know, or said he didn't.......Well the work looks pleasant enough, but</p>
<p>what really sends me is this escalation thing on salaries. The sky's</p>
<p>the limit, Tillie....No telling how far I may go. No we won’t need two</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 4]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>cars, no need at all. Highland Park, the section I liked best and</p>
<p>which Dr. Blurt recommended strongly, is within sight of the campus.</p>
<p>Sure, I can walk every day, and it will be good for me......You can</p>
<p>have the car every day and just drive from one party to another all</p>
<p>day long. Tillie, a funny thing happened this evening. Old Blurt</p>
<p>got pretty well oiled before dinner, and after dinner pulled me in</p>
<p>to hear his new stereo all loaded up with....Yep, Beethoven....You</p>
<p>know how I despise him. Well just when I was about to die of</p>
<p>boredom, Providence cut off the record player and we were plunged into</p>
<p>darkness. I never recall a power failure anywhere you and I have</p>
<p>lived......When I remarked about it, old Blurt said the other V.P.</p>
<p>had it turned off every now and then just to let the townspeople</p>
<p>know who was running things here. I doubt it is so, but the university</p>
<p>owns the power plant. ......No, Tillie, I haven't yet, I'll make a note</p>
<p>right now to ask Blurt tomorrow while we drive to the airport. I'm</p>
<p>sure they must have a campus school for gifted children. Certainly we</p>
<p>aren't the only university couple with unusual children. I saw the</p>
<p>Town grade schools----sort of ranch style, but I think they are for the</p>
<p>ordinary children. Your church is well established here, pretty snappy</p>
<p>looking church. But there isn't any Unitarian Church that I could find.</p>
<p>They say there are three Baptist churches in this town. Imagine that many</p>
<p>Baptists in a town of 10,000........The Dean, no, he's a Presbyterian.....</p>
<p>Psychology, but he never said what kind........No, he didn't have a couch</p>
<p>in his office. No, he didn't even talk like a psychologist. I met</p>
<p>his wife; she's a honey too, Tillie, and I bet she can keep the Dean in</p>
<p>line. Say, Tillie, you remember the Sunday we drove over to Pikeville</p>
<p>in the Coal Fields and saw all those hill-billies. Well, there's plenty</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 5]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>of them here, but these ones are kind of quaint and cute. One I saw</p>
<p>couldn't have had his hat off in 10 years! Yep, they let 'em run loose,</p>
<p>so far as I could tell.</p>
<p> Tillie, we will not be making much more money here at least until we</p>
<p>escalate a bit, but they say living is cheap. I asked several faculty</p>
<p>men and all of them said food was very cheap here. Cigarettes they said</p>
<p>were high, but food was low. I didn't get into any supermarkets but</p>
<p>I think they were telling me the truth. One even said he hadn't</p>
<p>increased his wife's allowance for food in 10 years: Maybe being at</p>
<p>the end of the line so to speak, things are cheaper here. Well the</p>
<p>newspapers cannot measure up to the Enquirer, Tillie. I saw one</p>
<p>Roanoke paper, picked it up and happened to look at the back page</p>
<p>and thought I had hold of a copy of the Policemen's Gazette's</p>
<p>a joke, Tillie. The County paper you wouldn't believe if I told you</p>
<p>about it, but I'm bringing home a couple of copies. The editorial</p>
<p>page is a riot. You could act some of the letters out and get thrown in</p>
<p>jail. I surmise there's as much hostility between the county seat</p>
<p>and Blacksburg as there is between Cincinnati and Covington. No,</p>
<p>you have to take the Richmond paper to get the daily Peanuts.</p>
<p> I know it will be a bit primitive here, Tillie, but remember it's clean,</p>
<p>really clean. Now I know it is going to be tough being away from Cinnsy</p>
<p>and Mother and Daddy, but look at it this way---we will only be 2 hours</p>
<p>from Covington and Cinnsy. You and I can buzz back here many times on</p>
<p>week-ends in the President's plane. They says he's about to buy a Lear</p>
<p>Jet. Imagine flying to Cinnsy sitting in the President's seat with you</p>
<p>beside me.-......Of course, there's culture here!.....They had the</p>
<p>Beach Boys, Lionel Hampton, and Dave Brinkley all here in the same Month.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 6]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No, I didn't notice the girls here....now you know I never think about</p>
<p>things like that. All I can say they are scarce, but I hear they are moving</p>
<p>in a big contingent of women this fall.......Well, if it is that imbalanced,</p>
<p>I'm sure that H E W will bring them into line.</p>
<p>There's a big future here in forensics; even a lot of the faculty need</p>
<p>coaching........It's okay then for me to accept tomorrow, honey? Well,</p>
<p>that's sweet of you and I trust your judgment too, dear. Don't forget now,</p>
<p>meet me at the airport at 3:10. Bye! Bye!</p>

<p>Scene 2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(In Blurt's study) George Blurt dashes for the phone the moment the</p>
<p>power failure is over and calls his Dean to get final clearance on</p>
<p>talking turkey with Sid Magnabrayne. Blurt is fed up with trying to</p>
<p>recruit a forensics professor; this is the fourth one he's had here</p>
<p>in a month; and the other three were dolts. Magnabrayne is a decent</p>
<p>chap, a bit mousy, but decent;.....never said a thing out of the way</p>
<p>in two whole days. Sure hope the Dean goes along with a good salary for</p>
<p>Sid.....he'll need one with six gifted kids. Let 'em raise hell out</p>
<p>in Highland Park, McBryde Village ought to be a safe distance away</p>
<p>from the little monsters. Blurt dials 552-2885, and a cheery voice</p>
<p>answers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“ Wynn, this is Gabby Blurt, ....may I speak to Les, please?.....Hello,;</p>
<p>Les? This is Gabby! I'm calling about this chap Magnabrayne we had</p>
<p>here for this new spot in forensics.....Sure, I'm sure we have a position</p>
<p>for forensics.....Yep, I double checked. Did you like Magnabrayne?</p>
<p>How'd he strike you?.........I know he didn't strike you....Please, Dean,</p>
<p>I'm tired, don't kid around......I said did you like Sid Magnabrayne...</p>
<p>Yeh, Magnabrayne from Ohio State?........How could I be expected to know how</p>
<p>Covington, Kentucky, got a branch of Ohio State! The fact is they did,</p>
<p>and Magnabrayne's there, and he's done a good job teaching those Ohio</p>
<p>wetbacks how to behave in open discussions. No, now I didn't! Of</p>
<p>course not! Now, Dean, you cannot ask a prospective faculty member a</p>
<p>personal question like that. He's got academic freedom, you know.....</p>
<p>Okay, I know we need more Democrats for better balance, but don't depend on</p>
<p>me to do it all, Dean....Remember, I've hired four darned Demos in a row,</p>
<p>and I do not want to be known as a party man.........No, no, no let's</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 8]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8</p>
<p> </p>
<p>not get off on the subject of any of my parties. Let's talk about</p>
<p>Magnabrayne....No, they were not wild, no I did not do that. Now</p>
<p>about Sid Magnabrayne, Dean, I think he's a comer!.. I beg your</p>
<p>pardon Dean, I didn't say swinger, I said comer. You know you're</p>
<p>being kind of rough on me tonight......Yes, yes, I know one of his</p>
<p>plays was banned by the Catholic Church, but so was Tom Jones and you</p>
<p>really raved over that. Oh, yes your did. I noted it and wrote it</p>
<p>down in my diary that you did. Now, Magnabrayne has this consultancy</p>
<p>in the Cincinnati Dramatics Society production opening in the Spring,</p>
<p>and Sid's going to have to go back to Cincinnati every other Saturday</p>
<p>and stay with it for six months until things are past dress rehearsal.</p>
<p>......The question he asked was: can he use the President's plane</p>
<p>on week-ends if Cinnsy picks up the tab on it, or would he have to</p>
<p>fly Piedmont?................Well, I'll be darned. You're joking.</p>
<p>.....No foolin'.......Aw, come on, Les, quit kidding me....Really?</p>
<p>Now let me write that down. Piedmont's coming into Blacksburg July</p>
<p>1. A new jet runway? ......Where will it go?....Across the</p>
<p>campus? ....Oh, down past Henry Heth's house at Whitethorn!...Jet</p>
<p>service with special faculty rates? Well, there's no limit to what</p>
<p>Marshall can do. Wonderful. Now about Magnabrayne's consultancy,</p>
<p>you have no objection? Of course, I don't have any questions about</p>
<p>his going to Cinnsy every other Saturday just for play practice. You</p>
<p>psychologists read something into every act; its a professional</p>
<p>obligation. Now you saw Sid Magnabrayne, he's no Errol Flynn. Now</p>
<p>what's King Farouk got to do with it. Magnabrayne is a thin man.</p>
<p>Now do I have your support on the offer I outlined I would like to make</p>
<p>to Magnabrayne when we went over his vita.......Well why not?.......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 9]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>9</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What's wrong with that? Lots of men marry older women. Two years is</p>
<p>not so much difference. Anyway, she probably shaves a little off her</p>
<p>age when she talks to other women........No, I did not conceal the</p>
<p>fact his father was a Mormon. It's right on his vita. No, Dean,</p>
<p>just because he's a Mormon doesn't mean he's a bigamist even by our</p>
<p>standards!.....Just look at George Romney! Sorry about that Dean,</p>
<p>I did not mean to bring up Republicans again, it just slipped out.</p>
<p>Now, can't we forget the stab about one of my parties when I got a</p>
<p>little out of hand. I apologized.......No, that is not correct, Dean.</p>
<p>.......No...........No........I probably buy less in the C-burg</p>
<p>ABC store than any other department head.....No, I'm including him.</p>
<p>........Well, I think its the right thing to do, if you buy it in</p>
<p>Roanoke, nobody knows about it up here......I'm willing to drop</p>
<p>it if you are, and I hope you are, Dean......Now about Magnabrayne,</p>
<p>did you know he has an I. Q. of 190....One of his old professors wrote</p>
<p>me about it........Well, I'm sorry I didn't mention it to you sooner,</p>
<p>but we have so many smart people in our department that I sort of took</p>
<p>it for granted that you would know he was way up there. Well, now,</p>
<p>that's fine. Your going along with me on Sid Magnabrayne is something</p>
<p>you will not regret. Dean, hasn't this been an exciting year for</p>
<p>recruiting so many real scholars? Well, thanks! I try to do my job the</p>
<p>best I can with Myrtle's help. Good night, sir!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 10]</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Epilogue</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now every case of faculty recruitment does not go as smoothly as</p>
<p>this one. The decisive factors in faculty interviews are unpre-</p>
<p>dictable. We men cannot take all the credit for the success. We</p>
<p>cannot take more than half the credit, probably not even half.</p>
<p>Well, possibly we should have some credit. But we would not be</p>
<p>able to win these men over without your efforts. You are all</p>
<p>real charmers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who can say that Mrs. Blurt may not have rendered the telling</p>
<p>act of consummate kindness in driving Sid Magnabrayne back to his</p>
<p>motel after the power went off. You know she just could have called</p>
<p>the Vice President and asked him to cut the power off and thereby</p>
<p>end those awful Beethoven symphonies. Sort of funny the way that</p>
<p>power came on just as she drove her guest up to the motel. He could</p>
<p>have stalked out of the house and headed back for Covington if that power</p>
<p>had not gone off during the playing of the redundant Sixth. Or perhaps</p>
<p>something she said about Blacksburg just convinced Sid Magnabrayne</p>
<p>that B-burg was the place for his Tillie and their six geniuses.</p>
<p>Remember, Sid Magnabrayne just could be President here some day,</p>
<p>and if my surmises are true, wouldn't Myrtle Blurt have a reason to smile</p>
<p>knowing that she helped get old Sid Magnabrayne to sign. We will never</p>
<p>know, and perhaps for us men it is well that we will not ever know.</p>
<p>Suffice it to say---it take's a heap o' doin' to recruit a brilliant</p>
<p>staff member and do it in such a way that he never knows what hit him.</p>
<p>To you ladies: We need your ever-lovin' help if we are to continue to:</p>
<p> Wine 'em--------Dine 'em-------and Sign 'em</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>HOW TO CATCH A GENIUS</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Prologue</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Professor C. (for Claude) Sidney Magnabrayne, now an associate professor</p>
<p>of forensics at the Covington, Kentucky, Center for The Ohio State Uni-</p>
<p>versity is on campus for two days at Virginia Tech, hereinafter known</p>
<p>as the university, for a faculty interview for a position in the Department</p>
<p>of Urban Forensics. He has just concluded a long and tiring day</p>
<p>that virtually terminates his visit and tomorrow morning his host, Dr.</p>
<p>George A. Blurt who is Chairman of the Department at Virginia Tech, will</p>
<p>hopefully, make his pitch to hire Sid Magnabrayne while driving the</p>
<p>latter to Roanoke to catch his plane.</p>
<p>Our guest has returned to his suite at the Lake Terrace Hilton from</p>
<p>an evening in the home of the Blurts where he was beautifully wined</p>
<p>and dined by the charming Mrs. Blurt. The evening went fine through</p>
<p>dinner, but Blurt, an uncompromising Beethoven buff, was insisting</p>
<p>that his guest endure listening to all those symphonies. Fortunately</p>
<p>for Dr. Magnabrayne, prolonged torture was avoided because of a local</p>
<p>power failure that cut off the record playing in the midst of the</p>
<p>especially redundant Sixth. They did not play the Fifth because they</p>
<p>killed that before dinner. Just about that time, Mrs. Blurt emerged</p>
<p>from the kitchen only to be asked by George to please drive Magnabrayne</p>
<p>back to the motel, because he did not think he should drive so soon</p>
<p>after dinner (or maybe because of what he had before dinner.) Mrs. Blurt</p>
<p>dutifully drives her guest back to the Lake Terrace Hilton. Just as</p>
<p>they arrive at the motel, the town power comes back on and Magnabrayne</p>
<p>says thanks and good night to his charming hostess.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>ACT I</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Scene 1</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sid Magnabrayne, all alone now, rushes into the motel room to call his</p>
<p>wife, and he's already 10 minutes late on the promised call. As Scene</p>
<p>1 opens, we find Sid leafing the pages in the local phone book for the</p>
<p>Covington, Kentucky Area Code. So he dials 606----then 5-5-5-­-</p>
<p>then 1-2-1-2. (For those unfamiliar with Long Distance dialing, what</p>
<p>Sid is trying to do is find out his own phone number which was changed</p>
<p>recently---as a matter of fact about 26 months ago.) The number he is</p>
<p>calling will give him his phone number.He knows this from experience.</p>
<p>He begins to speak:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Operator, would you give me the phone number of Dr. C. Sidney Magna-­-</p>
<p>brayne in Covington Heights............No, I'm sorry I've forgotten the</p>
<p>street address but we're the only Magnabraynes in Covington if I do say</p>
<p>so.......Well thank you operator for your compliment, but we are not the</p>
<p>only Magnabraynes in Kentucky.......I know there are two in Lexington...</p>
<p>.......669-5000; thank you very much operator, it was nice talking to</p>
<p>you too. (The phone in Covington rings.) Tillie? Is that you dear?</p>
<p>This is Claudie......I wanted to tell you about my visit before I went</p>
<p>nighty nite. Yes, dear,....I used the SCOPE......matter of fact I took</p>
<p>an extra swig in the Men's Room just before going in to see the Vice</p>
<p>President.......Oh, he was fine, we talked all hour about Dave Brubeck,</p>
<p>a friend of his, I gathered......No, I didn't find out much about the V.P.,</p>
<p>but I had the sneaking feeling that behind all that Brubeck stuff was</p>
<p>a mental x-ray machine that was tuned on-----and on me.......Hope I'm</p>
<p>okay.......I tell you one thing, Tillie?.......Right, I sure wouldn't</p>
<p>want to get in a poker game with him...........why he'd know every card you</p>
<p>had without even looking!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Tillie, they say there's 10,000 people here, but it isn't like Broad</p>
<p>Street in Covington, I'll tell you that......Town's dead as a doornail</p>
<p>until about noon, then everyone must get out of his cave and get in his</p>
<p>car to go somewhere.....Traffic’s murder.....Tillie, it's the least bit</p>
<p>primitive........No, I'm not being unfair because I was going to add</p>
<p>that it is also clean. Tillie, the sky is blue, real blue, deep blue,</p>
<p>with beautiful clouds.......They all lit up just before dinner; and</p>
<p>Tillie so was the Chairman; if I had downed what he did I would have</p>
<p>been stoned. Tillie, the country is beautiful here. All this green</p>
<p>grass, no coal smoke, just green grass and big buildings......Most</p>
<p>of the university buildings are stone and they call it N & W Gothic.</p>
<p>.....Ever hear of that in Art School, Tillie? They’ve even got a</p>
<p>lake on the campus. No, I didn't see any boats.</p>
<p> Mrs. Blurt, Oh, Tillie---she's a doll---almost as pretty as you</p>
<p>and nearly as good a cook, but don't....no, no,now don't worry about</p>
<p>my doing that. Tillie, you will love this place. The women go to</p>
<p>parties and play bridge all day long. Sometimes, they go to four</p>
<p>parties a day!.......Think of that, maybe you could gain a little weight</p>
<p>here, you know the doctor said you were too underweight to be healthy.</p>
<p>Sure, there's a DAR and also there a D of C too. No, there isn't</p>
<p>much drinking here, except the Chairman, Dr. Blurt, looks to me like</p>
<p>he might be overdoing it, but maybe he was just testing me. There are</p>
<p>more Women's clubs than I ever heard of. Tillie, what's an inter-</p>
<p>mediate woman? They have a club here. I asked the Dean, and he didn't</p>
<p>know, or said he didn't.......Well the work looks pleasant enough, but</p>
<p>what really sends me is this escalation thing on salaries. The sky's</p>
<p>the limit, Tillie....No telling how far I may go. No we won’t need two</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 4]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>cars, no need at all. Highland Park, the section I liked best and</p>
<p>which Dr. Blurt recommended strongly, is within sight of the campus.</p>
<p>Sure, I can walk every day, and it will be good for me......You can</p>
<p>have the car every day and just drive from one party to another all</p>
<p>day long. Tillie, a funny thing happened this evening. Old Blurt</p>
<p>got pretty well oiled before dinner, and after dinner pulled me in</p>
<p>to hear his new stereo all loaded up with....Yep, Beethoven....You</p>
<p>know how I despise him. Well just when I was about to die of</p>
<p>boredom, Providence cut off the record player and we were plunged into</p>
<p>darkness. I never recall a power failure anywhere you and I have</p>
<p>lived......When I remarked about it, old Blurt said the other V.P.</p>
<p>had it turned off every now and then just to let the townspeople</p>
<p>know who was running things here. I doubt it is so, but the university</p>
<p>owns the power plant. ......No, Tillie, I haven't yet, I'll make a note</p>
<p>right now to ask Blurt tomorrow while we drive to the airport. I'm</p>
<p>sure they must have a campus school for gifted children. Certainly we</p>
<p>aren't the only university couple with unusual children. I saw the</p>
<p>Town grade schools----sort of ranch style, but I think they are for the</p>
<p>ordinary children. Your church is well established here, pretty snappy</p>
<p>looking church. But there isn't any Unitarian Church that I could find.</p>
<p>They say there are three Baptist churches in this town. Imagine that many</p>
<p>Baptists in a town of 10,000........The Dean, no, he's a Presbyterian.....</p>
<p>Psychology, but he never said what kind........No, he didn't have a couch</p>
<p>in his office. No, he didn't even talk like a psychologist. I met</p>
<p>his wife; she's a honey too, Tillie, and I bet she can keep the Dean in</p>
<p>line. Say, Tillie, you remember the Sunday we drove over to Pikeville</p>
<p>in the Coal Fields and saw all those hill-billies. Well, there's plenty</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 5]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>of them here, but these ones are kind of quaint and cute. One I saw</p>
<p>couldn't have had his hat off in 10 years! Yep, they let 'em run loose,</p>
<p>so far as I could tell.</p>
<p> Tillie, we will not be making much more money here at least until we</p>
<p>escalate a bit, but they say living is cheap. I asked several faculty</p>
<p>men and all of them said food was very cheap here. Cigarettes they said</p>
<p>were high, but food was low. I didn't get into any supermarkets but</p>
<p>I think they were telling me the truth. One even said he hadn't</p>
<p>increased his wife's allowance for food in 10 years: Maybe being at</p>
<p>the end of the line so to speak, things are cheaper here. Well the</p>
<p>newspapers cannot measure up to the Enquirer, Tillie. I saw one</p>
<p>Roanoke paper, picked it up and happened to look at the back page</p>
<p>and thought I had hold of a copy of the Policemen's Gazette's</p>
<p>a joke, Tillie. The County paper you wouldn't believe if I told you</p>
<p>about it, but I'm bringing home a couple of copies. The editorial</p>
<p>page is a riot. You could act some of the letters out and get thrown in</p>
<p>jail. I surmise there's as much hostility between the county seat</p>
<p>and Blacksburg as there is between Cincinnati and Covington. No,</p>
<p>you have to take the Richmond paper to get the daily Peanuts.</p>
<p> I know it will be a bit primitive here, Tillie, but remember it's clean,</p>
<p>really clean. Now I know it is going to be tough being away from Cinnsy</p>
<p>and Mother and Daddy, but look at it this way---we will only be 2 hours</p>
<p>from Covington and Cinnsy. You and I can buzz back here many times on</p>
<p>week-ends in the President's plane. They says he's about to buy a Lear</p>
<p>Jet. Imagine flying to Cinnsy sitting in the President's seat with you</p>
<p>beside me.-......Of course, there's culture here!.....They had the</p>
<p>Beach Boys, Lionel Hampton, and Dave Brinkley all here in the same Month.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 6]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>6</p>
<p> </p>
<p>No, I didn't notice the girls here....now you know I never think about</p>
<p>things like that. All I can say they are scarce, but I hear they are moving</p>
<p>in a big contingent of women this fall.......Well, if it is that imbalanced,</p>
<p>I'm sure that H E W will bring them into line.</p>
<p>There's a big future here in forensics; even a lot of the faculty need</p>
<p>coaching........It's okay then for me to accept tomorrow, honey? Well,</p>
<p>that's sweet of you and I trust your judgment too, dear. Don't forget now,</p>
<p>meet me at the airport at 3:10. Bye! Bye!</p>

<p>Scene 2</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(In Blurt's study) George Blurt dashes for the phone the moment the</p>
<p>power failure is over and calls his Dean to get final clearance on</p>
<p>talking turkey with Sid Magnabrayne. Blurt is fed up with trying to</p>
<p>recruit a forensics professor; this is the fourth one he's had here</p>
<p>in a month; and the other three were dolts. Magnabrayne is a decent</p>
<p>chap, a bit mousy, but decent;.....never said a thing out of the way</p>
<p>in two whole days. Sure hope the Dean goes along with a good salary for</p>
<p>Sid.....he'll need one with six gifted kids. Let 'em raise hell out</p>
<p>in Highland Park, McBryde Village ought to be a safe distance away</p>
<p>from the little monsters. Blurt dials 552-2885, and a cheery voice</p>
<p>answers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>“ Wynn, this is Gabby Blurt, ....may I speak to Les, please?.....Hello,;</p>
<p>Les? This is Gabby! I'm calling about this chap Magnabrayne we had</p>
<p>here for this new spot in forensics.....Sure, I'm sure we have a position</p>
<p>for forensics.....Yep, I double checked. Did you like Magnabrayne?</p>
<p>How'd he strike you?.........I know he didn't strike you....Please, Dean,</p>
<p>I'm tired, don't kid around......I said did you like Sid Magnabrayne...</p>
<p>Yeh, Magnabrayne from Ohio State?........How could I be expected to know how</p>
<p>Covington, Kentucky, got a branch of Ohio State! The fact is they did,</p>
<p>and Magnabrayne's there, and he's done a good job teaching those Ohio</p>
<p>wetbacks how to behave in open discussions. No, now I didn't! Of</p>
<p>course not! Now, Dean, you cannot ask a prospective faculty member a</p>
<p>personal question like that. He's got academic freedom, you know.....</p>
<p>Okay, I know we need more Democrats for better balance, but don't depend on</p>
<p>me to do it all, Dean....Remember, I've hired four darned Demos in a row,</p>
<p>and I do not want to be known as a party man.........No, no, no let's</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 8]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>8</p>
<p> </p>
<p>not get off on the subject of any of my parties. Let's talk about</p>
<p>Magnabrayne....No, they were not wild, no I did not do that. Now</p>
<p>about Sid Magnabrayne, Dean, I think he's a comer!.. I beg your</p>
<p>pardon Dean, I didn't say swinger, I said comer. You know you're</p>
<p>being kind of rough on me tonight......Yes, yes, I know one of his</p>
<p>plays was banned by the Catholic Church, but so was Tom Jones and you</p>
<p>really raved over that. Oh, yes your did. I noted it and wrote it</p>
<p>down in my diary that you did. Now, Magnabrayne has this consultancy</p>
<p>in the Cincinnati Dramatics Society production opening in the Spring,</p>
<p>and Sid's going to have to go back to Cincinnati every other Saturday</p>
<p>and stay with it for six months until things are past dress rehearsal.</p>
<p>......The question he asked was: can he use the President's plane</p>
<p>on week-ends if Cinnsy picks up the tab on it, or would he have to</p>
<p>fly Piedmont?................Well, I'll be darned. You're joking.</p>
<p>.....No foolin'.......Aw, come on, Les, quit kidding me....Really?</p>
<p>Now let me write that down. Piedmont's coming into Blacksburg July</p>
<p>1. A new jet runway? ......Where will it go?....Across the</p>
<p>campus? ....Oh, down past Henry Heth's house at Whitethorn!...Jet</p>
<p>service with special faculty rates? Well, there's no limit to what</p>
<p>Marshall can do. Wonderful. Now about Magnabrayne's consultancy,</p>
<p>you have no objection? Of course, I don't have any questions about</p>
<p>his going to Cinnsy every other Saturday just for play practice. You</p>
<p>psychologists read something into every act; its a professional</p>
<p>obligation. Now you saw Sid Magnabrayne, he's no Errol Flynn. Now</p>
<p>what's King Farouk got to do with it. Magnabrayne is a thin man.</p>
<p>Now do I have your support on the offer I outlined I would like to make</p>
<p>to Magnabrayne when we went over his vita.......Well why not?.......</p>
<p> </p>
<p>[Page 9]</p>
<p> </p>
<p>9</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What's wrong with that? Lots of men marry older women. Two years is</p>
<p>not so much difference. Anyway, she probably shaves a little off her</p>
<p>age when she talks to other women........No, I did not conceal the</p>
<p>fact his father was a Mormon. It's right on his vita. No, Dean,</p>
<p>just because he's a Mormon doesn't mean he's a bigamist even by our</p>
<p>standards!.....Just look at George Romney! Sorry about that Dean,</p>
<p>I did not mean to bring up Republicans again, it just slipped out.</p>
<p>Now, can't we forget the stab about one of my parties when I got a</p>
<p>little out of hand. I apologized.......No, that is not correct, Dean.</p>
<p>.......No...........No........I probably buy less in the C-burg</p>
<p>ABC store than any other department head.....No, I'm including him.</p>
<p>........Well, I think its the right thing to do, if you buy it in</p>
<p>Roanoke, nobody knows about it up here......I'm willing to drop</p>
<p>it if you are, and I hope you are, Dean......Now about Magnabrayne,</p>
<p>did you know he has an I. Q. of 190....One of his old professors wrote</p>
<p>me about it........Well, I'm sorry I didn't mention it to you sooner,</p>
<p>but we have so many smart people in our department that I sort of took</p>
<p>it for granted that you would know he was way up there. Well, now,</p>
<p>that's fine. Your going along with me on Sid Magnabrayne is something</p>
<p>you will not regret. Dean, hasn't this been an exciting year for</p>
<p>recruiting so many real scholars? Well, thanks! I try to do my job the</p>
<p>best I can with Myrtle's help. Good night, sir!</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Epilogue</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Now every case of faculty recruitment does not go as smoothly as</p>
<p>this one. The decisive factors in faculty interviews are unpre-</p>
<p>dictable. We men cannot take all the credit for the success. We</p>
<p>cannot take more than half the credit, probably not even half.</p>
<p>Well, possibly we should have some credit. But we would not be</p>
<p>able to win these men over without your efforts. You are all</p>
<p>real charmers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Who can say that Mrs. Blurt may not have rendered the telling</p>
<p>act of consummate kindness in driving Sid Magnabrayne back to his</p>
<p>motel after the power went off. You know she just could have called</p>
<p>the Vice President and asked him to cut the power off and thereby</p>
<p>end those awful Beethoven symphonies. Sort of funny the way that</p>
<p>power came on just as she drove her guest up to the motel. He could</p>
<p>have stalked out of the house and headed back for Covington if that power</p>
<p>had not gone off during the playing of the redundant Sixth. Or perhaps</p>
<p>something she said about Blacksburg just convinced Sid Magnabrayne</p>
<p>that B-burg was the place for his Tillie and their six geniuses.</p>
<p>Remember, Sid Magnabrayne just could be President here some day,</p>
<p>and if my surmises are true, wouldn't Myrtle Blurt have a reason to smile</p>
<p>knowing that she helped get old Sid Magnabrayne to sign. We will never</p>
<p>know, and perhaps for us men it is well that we will not ever know.</p>
<p>Suffice it to say---it take's a heap o' doin' to recruit a brilliant</p>
<p>staff member and do it in such a way that he never knows what hit him.</p>
<p>To you ladies: We need your ever-lovin' help if we are to continue to:</p>
<p> Wine 'em--------Dine 'em-------and Sign 'em</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

<br />
<p> If you live for tomorrow with the objective of</p>
<p>making today’s dreams come true tomorrow, you</p>
<p>begin to pace yourself and to deny yourself small</p>
<p>rewards in favor of engineering bigger things. In</p>
<p>a matter of months one can gain a pretty accurate</p>
<p>assessment of his personal power and of his capacity for</p>
<p>work, and time enables one to not only</p>
<p>play the game but to keep his own side.</p>
<p> The man who stands to gain the most from this</p>
<p>kind of self-paced living is the man who is above average</p>
<p>but less than a genius. This includes most of you; it includes</p>
<p>me; it includes most professional men to some degree. One</p>
<p>can outdistance his competitors if he begins to work at his</p>
<p>maximum level of effectiveness soon enough. The slower</p>
<p>you are, the earlier you have to begin to work</p>
<p>toward an objective w/ the idea of achieving it.</p>
<p>If you assess the cost of a really taxing effort and</p>
<p>literally case your objective, you are already half-way there.</p>
<p> Fate can engineer magnificent pratfalls that knock</p>
<p>the best laid plans into a cocked hat. Beyond a point that</p>
<p>apoint each man knows for himself, man is helpless. The world</p>
<p>much bigger than he is. But what fate deals out to most of us is</p>
<p>probably better than we deserve, so there’s no room for genuinely</p>
<p>justified bitterness. After all if you plow ahead but fail</p>
<p>for some uncontrolled factor that upset your red wagon,</p>
<p>you cannot be upset very long before you turn to tomorrow</p>
<p>and begin some work therapy on a new project.</p>
<p> Every quarter or semester in a university is</p>
<p>a test of planning ahead. You learn to work,</p>
<p>you learn to meet deadlines, you learn to avoid the pitfalls</p>
<p>of goofing off. You learn how to pilot yourself to avoid</p>
<p>most of the bumps. Each setback only stiffens the determination</p>
<p>to win in the end. The daily lesson is the mind’s food, unless</p>
<p>you feed the mind it doesn’t grow. If you learn</p>
<p>many facts and concepts and formulae and quotations</p>
<p>and definitions your mind will do a fine job of filing</p>
<br />
<p>[Page 2]</p>
<br />
<p>these away for later recall, but you have to cast</p>
<p>mentally regularly every school day to be ready for the eventual</p>
<p>test or examination. Study today for tomorrow.</p>
<p> How much do we really retain from what we “learn?”</p>
<p>50%? 25%? 10%? 5%? I’m inclined to believe we retain<br /> more than we can rediscover through recall, The man who</p>
<p>plans for tomorrow is subconsciously reviewing an recalling</p>
<p>even as he plans ahead. Ideas flow the fastest</p>
<p>when the mental spigot is opened every day. I</p>
<p>have a theory that I believe to be fact – it is that you can</p>
<p>do what you will to do about 80% of the time. The rest of</p>
<p>the time you are unable to do so. Some are luckier than</p>
<p>others, but it is not blind fate that rules us, –</p>
<p>its a fate molded mainly by ourselves.</p>
<p> If you have dreams of what you want the</p>
<p>and your ambition is to fullfill those dreams ·</p>
<p>Fight for them – make them come true.</p>
<p> Some silly students believe you learn in college</p>
<p>what you have to know + then you go out + use your</p>
<p>knowledge. This just is not so. You leave here with a</p>
<p>bullied and bruised head + many facts though they</p>
<p>be filed in your mind will never be recalled. You</p>
<p>do leave even if its by flunking out –</p>
<p>with an enlarged view - of the world + of yourself.</p>
<p> If college in some way or another shapes your</p>
<p>awareness, improves your scope of choice or discrimination,</p>
<p>and if it enlarges your frame of reference, you are</p>
<p>in a much better condition to do battle to make</p>
<p>your dreams concrete.</p>
<p> Now you are here in a good college and</p>
<p>you are attending to major in a department that</p>
<p>believes that in lite you are here it is our</p>
<p>professional duty to help you find yourself.</p>
<p>It is our duty to get you to find out just how much you can do by pushing</p>
<p>you now and then to capacity. The idea is not</p>
<br />
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<br />
<p>to break you but to be the making of you. We are</p>
<p>often looked at as sadists or worse – as though</p>
<p>we get our kicks out of torturing the students. The opposite</p>
<p>is true.</p>
<p>The fun in teaching is seeing ideas take hold + minds</p>
<p>grow and develop.</p>
<p> The longer I teach the better I know one cannot</p>
<p>assess or prognose the future of the potential of</p>
<p>a student. A dullard may catch fire. If the demon</p>
<p>will can be set afire, the mind can be made to do</p>
<p>wonders. You are born again. To do this is to</p>
<p>find out who you are + what you are. You must be able to</p>
<p>slip out of your skin and take an objective look</p>
<p>at you + at the state of affairs in which you will be</p>
<p>projected.</p>
<p> Some believe it is better not to play a game</p>
<p>than to risk playing and losing. The only</p>
<p>way one improves his batting average is to play the</p>
<p>game more often.</p>
<p> This earthly life shifted of all the transient</p>
<p>frivolity is pretty frightening. We are born so</p>
<p>that we can die and death is frightfully final</p>
<p>to us earth men. Some people inclined many people</p>
<p>prefer to sit down, live quietly, + wait to their</p>
<p>name is called to board a bus to eternity. They</p>
<p>are the pitied. What do they ever really enjoy. How</p>
<p>many big moments do they ever have.</p>
<p>Living is more fun than anything. So for as we have</p>
<p>we only live one. The good Lord has probably put</p>
<p>more talent in you than you will ever discover. But</p>
<p>aren’t you curious to see how much you live.</p>
<p> Make up your mind to have one helluva worthwhile</p>
<p>time on this earth. Decide what you want to do + where</p>
<p>you want to be when you are 40 years old. There’s truth to</p>
<p>the old saying that in later life begins. Work now to</p>
<p>make the most of the later years.</p>
<br />
<p>[Page 4]</p>
<br />
<p> Every year you complete here w/ a creditable academic</p>
<p>average of 2.0 or better – you have banked $2,500</p>
<p>on your future education which you can cash in by fellowship</p>
<p>subsidization in grad school. Who can afford to throw</p>
<p>away $2,500 or a year of his life? Alas, how many do just that.</p>
<p> In planning for tomorrow your competitive senses</p>
<p>come to the fore. You want to achieve. There’s fun</p>
<p>in it even if you do not win every time. In</p>
<p>the beautiful cemetery at Lexington, Va. is an</p>
<p>epitaph on a spinster’s monument that reads:</p>
<p> “She did the best she could” And I bet she did.</p>
<p> I have thought about Mrs. Demarches? Beacon? almost</p>
<p>every day since I was touched by her magnificent</p>
<p>personality. I thought of her especially as I sat in the</p>
<p>great theatre of Oberammergau in 1960. An elderly</p>
<p>lady – I would say about 78 years old - sat beside me during</p>
<p>the afternoon portion of the performance. She entered +</p>
<p>sad down beside me in high spirits. She comforted the</p>
<p>lad lived to make this day come true. This was her great</p>
<p>moment. About 10 minutes after the performance had started I</p>
<p>cast a glance at the elderly lady only to see that she was fast</p>
<p>asleep. Truly for her, anticipation was greater than realization.</p>
<p>Her tired body just was not up to remaining awake. The</p>

<p<br></p>
<p> If you live for tomorrow with the objective of</p>
<p>making today’s dreams come true tomorrow, you</p>
<p>begin to pace yourself and to deny yourself small</p>
<p>rewards in favor of engineering bigger things. In</p>
<p>a matter of months one can gain a pretty accurate</p>
<p>assessment of his personal power and of his capacity for</p>
<p>work, and time enables one to not only</p>
<p>play the game but to keep his own side.</p>
<p> The man who stands to gain the most from this</p>
<p>kind of self-paced living is the man who is above average</p>
<p>but less than a genius. This includes most of you; it includes</p>
<p>me; it includes most professional men to some degree. One</p>
<p>can outdistance his competitors if he begins to work at his</p>
<p>maximum level of effectiveness soon enough. The slower</p>
<p>you are, the earlier you have to begin to work</p>
<p>toward an objective w/ the idea of achieving it.</p>
<p>If you assess the cost of a really taxing effort and</p>
<p>literally case your objective, you are already half-way there.</p>
<p> Fate can engineer magnificent pratfalls that knock</p>
<p>the best laid plans into a cocked hat. Beyond a point that</p>
<p>apoint each man knows for himself, man is helpless. The world</p>
<p>much bigger than he is. But what fate deals out to most of us is</p>
<p>probably better than we deserve, so there’s no room for genuinely</p>
<p>justified bitterness. After all if you plow ahead but fail</p>
<p>for some uncontrolled factor that upset your red wagon,</p>
<p>you cannot be upset very long before you turn to tomorrow</p>
<p>and begin some work therapy on a new project.</p>
<p> Every quarter or semester in a university is</p>
<p>a test of planning ahead. You learn to work,</p>
<p>you learn to meet deadlines, you learn to avoid the pitfalls</p>
<p>of goofing off. You learn how to pilot yourself to avoid</p>
<p>most of the bumps. Each setback only stiffens the determination</p>
<p>to win in the end. The daily lesson is the mind’s food, unless</p>
<p>you feed the mind it doesn’t grow. If you learn</p>
<p>many facts and concepts and formulae and quotations</p>
<p>and definitions your mind will do a fine job of filing</p>
<p<br></p>
<p>[Page 2]</p>
<p<br></p>
<p>these away for later recall, but you have to cast</p>
<p>mentally regularly every school day to be ready for the eventual</p>
<p>test or examination. Study today for tomorrow.</p>
<p> How much do we really retain from what we “learn?”</p>
<p>50%? 25%? 10%? 5%? I’m inclined to believe we retain<br>
more than we can rediscover through recall, The man who</p>
<p>plans for tomorrow is subconsciously reviewing an recalling</p>
<p>even as he plans ahead. Ideas flow the fastest</p>
<p>when the mental spigot is opened every day. I</p>
<p>have a theory that I believe to be fact – it is that you can</p>
<p>do what you will to do about 80% of the time. The rest of</p>
<p>the time you are unable to do so. Some are luckier than</p>
<p>others, but it is not blind fate that rules us, –</p>
<p>its a fate molded mainly by ourselves.</p>
<p> If you have dreams of what you want the</p>
<p>and your ambition is to fullfill those dreams ·</p>
<p>Fight for them – make them come true.</p>
<p> Some silly students believe you learn in college</p>
<p>what you have to know + then you go out + use your</p>
<p>knowledge. This just is not so. You leave here with a</p>
<p>bullied and bruised head + many facts though they</p>
<p>be filed in your mind will never be recalled. You</p>
<p>do leave even if its by flunking out –</p>
<p>with an enlarged view - of the world + of yourself.</p>
<p> If college in some way or another shapes your</p>
<p>awareness, improves your scope of choice or discrimination,</p>
<p>and if it enlarges your frame of reference, you are</p>
<p>in a much better condition to do battle to make</p>
<p>your dreams concrete.</p>
<p> Now you are here in a good college and</p>
<p>you are attending to major in a department that</p>
<p>believes that in lite you are here it is our</p>
<p>professional duty to help you find yourself.</p>
<p>It is our duty to get you to find out just how much you can do by pushing</p>
<p>you now and then to capacity. The idea is not</p>
<p<br></p>
<p>[Page 3]</p>
<p<br></p>
<p>to break you but to be the making of you. We are</p>
<p>often looked at as sadists or worse – as though</p>
<p>we get our kicks out of torturing the students. The opposite</p>
<p>is true.</p>
<p>The fun in teaching is seeing ideas take hold + minds</p>
<p>grow and develop.</p>
<p> The longer I teach the better I know one cannot</p>
<p>assess or prognose the future of the potential of</p>
<p>a student. A dullard may catch fire. If the demon</p>
<p>will can be set afire, the mind can be made to do</p>
<p>wonders. You are born again. To do this is to</p>
<p>find out who you are + what you are. You must be able to</p>
<p>slip out of your skin and take an objective look</p>
<p>at you + at the state of affairs in which you will be</p>
<p>projected.</p>
<p> Some believe it is better not to play a game</p>
<p>than to risk playing and losing. The only</p>
<p>way one improves his batting average is to play the</p>
<p>game more often.</p>
<p> This earthly life shifted of all the transient</p>
<p>frivolity is pretty frightening. We are born so</p>
<p>that we can die and death is frightfully final</p>
<p>to us earth men. Some people inclined many people</p>
<p>prefer to sit down, live quietly, + wait to their</p>
<p>name is called to board a bus to eternity. They</p>
<p>are the pitied. What do they ever really enjoy. How</p>
<p>many big moments do they ever have.</p>
<p>Living is more fun than anything. So for as we have</p>
<p>we only live one. The good Lord has probably put</p>
<p>more talent in you than you will ever discover. But</p>
<p>aren’t you curious to see how much you live.</p>
<p> Make up your mind to have one helluva worthwhile</p>
<p>time on this earth. Decide what you want to do + where</p>
<p>you want to be when you are 40 years old. There’s truth to</p>
<p>the old saying that in later life begins. Work now to</p>
<p>make the most of the later years.</p>
<p<br></p>
<p>[Page 4]</p>
<p<br></p>
<p> Every year you complete here w/ a creditable academic</p>
<p>average of 2.0 or better – you have banked $2,500</p>
<p>on your future education which you can cash in by fellowship</p>
<p>subsidization in grad school. Who can afford to throw</p>
<p>away $2,500 or a year of his life? Alas, how many do just that.</p>
<p> In planning for tomorrow your competitive senses</p>
<p>come to the fore. You want to achieve. There’s fun</p>
<p>in it even if you do not win every time. In</p>
<p>the beautiful cemetery at Lexington, Va. is an</p>
<p>epitaph on a spinster’s monument that reads:</p>
<p> “She did the best she could” And I bet she did.</p>
<p> I have thought about Mrs. Demarches? Beacon? almost</p>
<p>every day since I was touched by her magnificent</p>
<p>personality. I thought of her especially as I sat in the</p>
<p>great theatre of Oberammergau in 1960. An elderly</p>
<p>lady – I would say about 78 years old - sat beside me during</p>
<p>the afternoon portion of the performance. She entered +</p>
<p>sad down beside me in high spirits. She comforted the</p>
<p>lad lived to make this day come true. This was her great</p>
<p>moment. About 10 minutes after the performance had started I</p>
<p>cast a glance at the elderly lady only to see that she was fast</p>
<p>asleep. Truly for her, anticipation was greater than realization.</p>
<p>Her tired body just was not up to remaining awake. The</p>
<p>fun + the pleasure of seeing that she got herself to Oberammmergau</p>
<p>was the important thing – not the performance. The great moments</p>
<p>in one’s life are individually brief – few + far between for some – close</p>
<p>together for others – but collectively the great moments are</p>
<p>probably less than 00.01 percent of your conscious existence. Unless</p>
<p>somehow you learn how to get great joy out of uphill plugging</p>
<p>+ working toward some sense of goals life will be empty. The power is</p>
<p>within you to do what you will to do. If you can harness</p>
<p>that power to make it work for you You will have justified</p>
<p>your existence on this earth.</p>

Description
An account of the resource
The collection consist of Marshak's professional and personal papers, detailing his career as university professor in physics at the University of Rochester and Virginia Tech, member and leader in several scientific institutions, and president of the City College of New York.
The first series contains materials on the Shelter Island Conferences (1947-1949) and his administrative and correspondence files on the Rochester Conferences on High-Energy Physics (1950-1957), which he founded. After 1957 the conferences were held under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and Marshak's files from the conferences from 1958 to 1970 are included. The collection also has correspondence files on IUPAP (1953-1972) and on the Commission on High Energy Physics (1958-1963); photographs (1950-1970); US-USSR relations (1956-1966); and a photocopy of an oral history interview done by Charles Weiner (1970).
The rest of the collection, is divided into eight series. These series consist of correspondence, notes, reports, files, speeches, newsclippings, autographs, photographs, transcripts, proceedings, interviews, and other personalia. Topics cover the national and international development of high-energy physics, meetings and symposia, and scientific committees; awards and prizes, administration and education, science in the Eastern Bloc and Third World, and the scientist as social activist or citizen-scientist. The collection also includes correspondence, publications and articles, and more related to Marshak's books and other writings, teaching and academic administrative work, and research.
Individual series concern specific time periods of Marshak's career, including his work at the University of Rochester, City College of New York (CCNY), and Virginia Tech (VPI). The series also document his involvement in numerous organizations, including the American Physical Association, International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and the International Foundation for Science in Sweden. (However, Marshak's official records as president of City College of New York are held by the Hoover Insitution Archives at Stanford University.)
Of special note are several items and files with other well-known physicists, including Hans Bethe, George Sudarshan, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Susumu Okubo, Abdus Salam, Victor Weisskopf, Enrico Fermi, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Mildred Dresselhaus, Richard Feynman, and a letter from Albert Einstein.

Description
An account of the resource
The collection consist of Marshak's professional and personal papers, detailing his career as university professor in physics at the University of Rochester and Virginia Tech, member and leader in several scientific institutions, and president of the City College of New York.
The first series contains materials on the Shelter Island Conferences (1947-1949) and his administrative and correspondence files on the Rochester Conferences on High-Energy Physics (1950-1957), which he founded. After 1957 the conferences were held under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and Marshak's files from the conferences from 1958 to 1970 are included. The collection also has correspondence files on IUPAP (1953-1972) and on the Commission on High Energy Physics (1958-1963); photographs (1950-1970); US-USSR relations (1956-1966); and a photocopy of an oral history interview done by Charles Weiner (1970).
The rest of the collection, is divided into eight series. These series consist of correspondence, notes, reports, files, speeches, newsclippings, autographs, photographs, transcripts, proceedings, interviews, and other personalia. Topics cover the national and international development of high-energy physics, meetings and symposia, and scientific committees; awards and prizes, administration and education, science in the Eastern Bloc and Third World, and the scientist as social activist or citizen-scientist. The collection also includes correspondence, publications and articles, and more related to Marshak's books and other writings, teaching and academic administrative work, and research.
Individual series concern specific time periods of Marshak's career, including his work at the University of Rochester, City College of New York (CCNY), and Virginia Tech (VPI). The series also document his involvement in numerous organizations, including the American Physical Association, International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and the International Foundation for Science in Sweden. (However, Marshak's official records as president of City College of New York are held by the Hoover Insitution Archives at Stanford University.)

Description
An account of the resource
The collection consist of Marshak's professional and personal papers, detailing his career as university professor in physics at the University of Rochester and Virginia Tech, member and leader in several scientific institutions, and president of the City College of New York.
The first series contains materials on the Shelter Island Conferences (1947-1949) and his administrative and correspondence files on the Rochester Conferences on High-Energy Physics (1950-1957), which he founded. After 1957 the conferences were held under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and Marshak's files from the conferences from 1958 to 1970 are included. The collection also has correspondence files on IUPAP (1953-1972) and on the Commission on High Energy Physics (1958-1963); photographs (1950-1970); US-USSR relations (1956-1966); and a photocopy of an oral history interview done by Charles Weiner (1970).
The rest of the collection, is divided into eight series. These series consist of correspondence, notes, reports, files, speeches, newsclippings, autographs, photographs, transcripts, proceedings, interviews, and other personalia. Topics cover the national and international development of high-energy physics, meetings and symposia, and scientific committees; awards and prizes, administration and education, science in the Eastern Bloc and Third World, and the scientist as social activist or citizen-scientist. The collection also includes correspondence, publications and articles, and more related to Marshak's books and other writings, teaching and academic administrative work, and research.
Individual series concern specific time periods of Marshak's career, including his work at the University of Rochester, City College of New York (CCNY), and Virginia Tech (VPI). The series also document his involvement in numerous organizations, including the American Physical Association, International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and the International Foundation for Science in Sweden. (However, Marshak's official records as president of City College of New York are held by the Hoover Insitution Archives at Stanford University.)
Of special note are several items and files with other well-known physicists, including Hans Bethe, George Sudarshan, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Susumu Okubo, Abdus Salam, Victor Weisskopf, Enrico Fermi, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Mildred Dresselhaus, Richard Feynman, and a letter from Albert Einstein.

(However, Marshak's official records as president of City College of New York are held by the Hoover Insitution Archives at Stanford University.)
Of special note are several items and files with other well-known physicists, including Hans Bethe, George Sudarshan, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Susumu Okubo, Abdus Salam, Victor Weisskopf, Enrico Fermi, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Mildred Dresselhaus, Richard Feynman, and a letter from Albert Einstein.

Description
An account of the resource
The collection consist of Marshak's professional and personal papers, detailing his career as university professor in physics at the University of Rochester and Virginia Tech, member and leader in several scientific institutions, and president of the City College of New York.
The first series contains materials on the Shelter Island Conferences (1947-1949) and his administrative and correspondence files on the Rochester Conferences on High-Energy Physics (1950-1957), which he founded. After 1957 the conferences were held under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and Marshak's files from the conferences from 1958 to 1970 are included. The collection also has correspondence files on IUPAP (1953-1972) and on the Commission on High Energy Physics (1958-1963); photographs (1950-1970); US-USSR relations (1956-1966); and a photocopy of an oral history interview done by Charles Weiner (1970).
The rest of the collection, is divided into eight series. These series consist of correspondence, notes, reports, files, speeches, newsclippings, autographs, photographs, transcripts, proceedings, interviews, and other personalia. Topics cover the national and international development of high-energy physics, meetings and symposia, and scientific committees; awards and prizes, administration and education, science in the Eastern Bloc and Third World, and the scientist as social activist or citizen-scientist. The collection also includes correspondence, publications and articles, and more related to Marshak's books and other writings, teaching and academic administrative work, and research.
Individual series concern specific time periods of Marshak's career, including his work at the University of Rochester, City College of New York (CCNY), and Virginia Tech (VPI). The series also document his involvement in numerous organizations, including the American Physical Association, International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and the International Foundation for Science in Sweden.

Description
An account of the resource
The collection consist of Marshak's professional and personal papers, detailing his career as university professor in physics at the University of Rochester and Virginia Tech, member and leader in several scientific institutions, and president of the City College of New York.
The first series contains materials on the Shelter Island Conferences (1947-1949) and his administrative and correspondence files on the Rochester Conferences on High-Energy Physics (1950-1957), which he founded. After 1957 the conferences were held under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and Marshak's files from the conferences from 1958 to 1970 are included. The collection also has correspondence files on IUPAP (1953-1972) and on the Commission on High Energy Physics (1958-1963); photographs (1950-1970); US-USSR relations (1956-1966); and a photocopy of an oral history interview done by Charles Weiner (1970).
The rest of the collection, is divided into eight series. These series consist of correspondence, notes, reports, files, speeches, newsclippings, autographs, photographs, transcripts, proceedings, interviews, and other personalia. Topics cover the national and international development of high-energy physics, meetings and symposia, and scientific committees; awards and prizes, administration and education, science in the Eastern Bloc and Third World, and the scientist as social activist or citizen-scientist. The collection also includes correspondence, publications and articles, and more related to Marshak's books and other writings, teaching and academic administrative work, and research.
Individual series concern specific time periods of Marshak's career, including his work at the University of Rochester, City College of New York (CCNY), and Virginia Tech (VPI). The series also document his involvement in numerous organizations, including the American Physical Association, International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and the International Foundation for Science in Sweden. (However, Marshak's official records as president of City College of New York are held by the Hoover Insitution Archives at Stanford University.)
Of special note are several items and files with other well-known physicists, including Hans Bethe, George Sudarshan, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Susumu Okubo, Abdus Salam, Victor Weisskopf, Enrico Fermi, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Mildred Dresselhaus, Richard Feynman, and a letter from Albert Einstein.

(However, Marshak's official records as president of City College of New York are held by the Hoover Insitution Archives at Stanford University.)
Of special note are several items and files with other well-known physicists, including Hans Bethe, George Sudarshan, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Susumu Okubo, Abdus Salam, Victor Weisskopf, Enrico Fermi, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Mildred Dresselhaus, Richard Feynman, and a letter from Albert Einstein.

Description
An account of the resource
The collection consist of Marshak's professional and personal papers, detailing his career as university professor in physics at the University of Rochester and Virginia Tech, member and leader in several scientific institutions, and president of the City College of New York.
The first series contains materials on the Shelter Island Conferences (1947-1949) and his administrative and correspondence files on the Rochester Conferences on High-Energy Physics (1950-1957), which he founded. After 1957 the conferences were held under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and Marshak's files from the conferences from 1958 to 1970 are included. The collection also has correspondence files on IUPAP (1953-1972) and on the Commission on High Energy Physics (1958-1963); photographs (1950-1970); US-USSR relations (1956-1966); and a photocopy of an oral history interview done by Charles Weiner (1970).
The rest of the collection, is divided into eight series. These series consist of correspondence, notes, reports, files, speeches, newsclippings, autographs, photographs, transcripts, proceedings, interviews, and other personalia. Topics cover the national and international development of high-energy physics, meetings and symposia, and scientific committees; awards and prizes, administration and education, science in the Eastern Bloc and Third World, and the scientist as social activist or citizen-scientist. The collection also includes correspondence, publications and articles, and more related to Marshak's books and other writings, teaching and academic administrative work, and research.
Individual series concern specific time periods of Marshak's career, including his work at the University of Rochester, City College of New York (CCNY), and Virginia Tech (VPI). The series also document his involvement in numerous organizations, including the American Physical Association, International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and the International Foundation for Science in Sweden.

Description
An account of the resource
The collection consist of Marshak's professional and personal papers, detailing his career as university professor in physics at the University of Rochester and Virginia Tech, member and leader in several scientific institutions, and president of the City College of New York.
The first series contains materials on the Shelter Island Conferences (1947-1949) and his administrative and correspondence files on the Rochester Conferences on High-Energy Physics (1950-1957), which he founded. After 1957 the conferences were held under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and Marshak's files from the conferences from 1958 to 1970 are included. The collection also has correspondence files on IUPAP (1953-1972) and on the Commission on High Energy Physics (1958-1963); photographs (1950-1970); US-USSR relations (1956-1966); and a photocopy of an oral history interview done by Charles Weiner (1970).
The rest of the collection, is divided into eight series. These series consist of correspondence, notes, reports, files, speeches, newsclippings, autographs, photographs, transcripts, proceedings, interviews, and other personalia. Topics cover the national and international development of high-energy physics, meetings and symposia, and scientific committees; awards and prizes, administration and education, science in the Eastern Bloc and Third World, and the scientist as social activist or citizen-scientist. The collection also includes correspondence, publications and articles, and more related to Marshak's books and other writings, teaching and academic administrative work, and research.
Individual series concern specific time periods of Marshak's career, including his work at the University of Rochester, City College of New York (CCNY), and Virginia Tech (VPI). The series also document his involvement in numerous organizations, including the American Physical Association, International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and the International Foundation for Science in Sweden. (However, Marshak's official records as president of City College of New York are held by the Hoover Insitution Archives at Stanford University.)
Of special note are several items and files with other well-known physicists, including Hans Bethe, George Sudarshan, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Susumu Okubo, Abdus Salam, Victor Weisskopf, Enrico Fermi, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Mildred Dresselhaus, Richard Feynman, and a letter from Albert Einstein.

The series also document his involvement in numerous organizations, including the American Physical Association, International Center of Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, and the International Foundation for Science in Sweden. (However, Marshak's official records as president of City College of New York are held by the Hoover Insitution Archives at Stanford University.)
Of special note are several items and files with other well-known physicists, including Hans Bethe, George Sudarshan, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Susumu Okubo, Abdus Salam, Victor Weisskopf, Enrico Fermi, Isidor Isaac Rabi, Mildred Dresselhaus, Richard Feynman, and a letter from Albert Einstein.

Description
An account of the resource
The collection consist of Marshak's professional and personal papers, detailing his career as university professor in physics at the University of Rochester and Virginia Tech, member and leader in several scientific institutions, and president of the City College of New York.
The first series contains materials on the Shelter Island Conferences (1947-1949) and his administrative and correspondence files on the Rochester Conferences on High-Energy Physics (1950-1957), which he founded. After 1957 the conferences were held under the sponsorship of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) and Marshak's files from the conferences from 1958 to 1970 are included. The collection also has correspondence files on IUPAP (1953-1972) and on the Commission on High Energy Physics (1958-1963); photographs (1950-1970); US-USSR relations (1956-1966); and a photocopy of an oral history interview done by Charles Weiner (1970).
The rest of the collection, is divided into eight series. These series consist of correspondence, notes, reports, files, speeches, newsclippings, autographs, photographs, transcripts, proceedings, interviews, and other personalia. Topics cover the national and international development of high-energy physics, meetings and symposia, and scientific committees; awards and prizes, administration and education, science in the Eastern Bloc and Third World, and the scientist as social activist or citizen-scientist. The collection also includes correspondence, publications and articles, and more related to Marshak's books and other writings, teaching and academic administrative work, and research.
