I-Ie is a sludenl par excellence -Ihal rare individual who Ihinks, nol only deeply and keenly, loul quickly and easily as well. l-Iis clear inlellecl assirnilales malhe- malics, language or philosophy wilh equal lacilily. A mosl acule brain, The abilily and will Io concenlrale, and an allilude of respecl have eslalolished him as one ol Ihe leaders ol his class. There are olher uses lor Ihe midnighl oil Ihan lor sludy, however. A goodly porlion ol il is used Io illuminale our noclurnal revelries. Wall is seldom missing from any of Ihese soirees. I-Ie is, moreover, Ihe dean of Jrhe diplomalic corps who iourney Io New Rochelle several limes weekly. Merely as an indicalion ol his versalilily, Wall does irnilalions.
