PARRYING mentally, but barely able to fight off a forced knight-attack below by shoeless Dick Press, a junior member of Jameson House, is Elmer M. Blistein '42, Resident Fellow of the house and an Assistant Professor in the English De- partment. Diversity of departments represented in the Resident Fellow system is an attractive feature since many students make a practice of visiting the faculty members-in residence of houses other than their own. Henry Kucera, an Assoclate Professor of Russian and Linguistics and Head Resident Fellow, pictured above holding weekly court in his apartment over Wayland Arch in the Wriston Quad- rangle, has been active in the program for several years. He's been especially interested in the Resident Fellow-sponsored Discussions '59 series.
