  The "Great Good Place"  (September-October 2001)
Harvard University hadn't been my first choice for post-graduate English studies, and I wouldn't have been there if the University of London had admitted me without time-consuming conditions.
Tuition at Harvard was $400 a term, quite a lot in the 1930s, but my dwindling inheritance would pay for a degree in English literature.

 The Rebellion of E.E. Cummings  (March-April 2005)
Throughout his life, Harvard was an inescapable presence in Cummings's moral universe: a place where conventions were imposed and where they could be fought against, a place endowed by the fathers but populated by the sons.
The same spirit reigned at Harvard: in 1888, Edward Cummings was awarded the University's first Robert Treat Paine Fellowship, a grant of $600 "to study ethical problems of society and the efforts...to ameliorate the lot of the masses of mankind." This sounds at least as much like a religious calling as a secular science.
He was known, rather, as one of the College's leading aesthetes, a connoisseur of avant-garde painting, music, and literature.

Anyway, the classicists amongst us are fond of set-piece theater, with masks and a chorus (so there's a Greek influence after all), and a bit of neo-Wagnerian musik theater never goes amiss amongst the aesthetes, nicely cathartic too.
