Many people have commented on the structural and architec¬ tural beauty of the new Cohen Art Center. Also structurally interesting are other Tufts landmarks in¬ cluding the well-built chapel. Dear Mom, Things are great here at Tufts. Boy, will you and Dad be sur¬ prised. I bet you thought Tufts was a men’s college. But there’s a girl’s college here, too. It’s called Jackson hut they spell it Jaxon usually. The girls are nice. I met one I like a little. Her name is Sarah Ormsby. She’s majoring in Anthropology but she’s really a nice girl. We’ve been out a few times and I’m so busy I don’t have much time. I’ve been busy study¬ ing, I mean. Sarah is really a nice girl when you get to know her well. We’ve been to some very cultural things together. We went to an art show at Cohen the other night but it was closed so we just looked around the building. Last Satur¬ day we went down to the theater and saw a very intellectural play. I didn’t understand it, but Sarah said it was very funny but I didn’t hear anyone laughing. The more you get to know Sarah the more you get to like her. After the play we went to an eating place near¬ by where all the smart kids go and discuss world affairs. So you see all my extra activities with Sarah are very stimulating and actually are part of my liberal education. Sarah is such a smart girl besides being kind of good looking. Well I’ll be seeing you soon. I’ve got to finish this now because I have to go to the library, to study of course. Your son, Orville P. S. Please send me some more money. I have to buy more books. Sarah is a swell girl, I’m sure you’ll like her. Oh, by the way, Sarah and I were married yester¬ day. 14

Many times, cultural discussions arise at parties. With thoughts flowing freely, the upper hand shifts often but there is always a winner. Such conversations often continue when a couple leaves the party. The talk usually ends shortly after arriving at the girl’s dorm. In spring, a young mans fancy turns to thoughts of grassing. Young ladies’ thoughts do like¬ wise and soon a wholesale switch to grassing is in progress. Whether it be French classes on the library steps or just relaxing under the trees, it’s Tufts’ favorite outdoor sport. 15
