We were pleased to meet him at a recent gathering and have imposed upon him to contribute to the paper. His first letter is preceeded bya short biographical sketch. Herbert Baldrey Genziwas born in 1899 in Binghampton, N. Y., the eldest son of Isaac Tate Genzi, owner of a small fleet of merchant vessels. His mother was the former Claudia Smith Whitaker, only daughter of Sir Archibald Selex Whitaker, the famed barrister. He was edu- cated at Saint George Academy and Harvard. After returningfrom two years of study at Oxford, he com- pleted work for his doctorate at the University of Minnesota. He traveled widely and taught at various institutions until 1935, when he accepted the chair of English at Bucknell University, succeeding Nicolai Peplan. lt was while at Bucknell that he published his first novel, Nestor, which received wide acclaim for its lyrical elo- quence. Doctor Genzi served with distinction at Bucknell until 1938, when he resigned to be- come the George Batsford Coop- er Professor of Contemporary Literature at Manchester Uni- versity. During this tenure, he published his controversial book of verse, Greimalkin, which was universally rejected by the post-war symbolists. ln 1949, he took a sabbatical leave to work on his unfinished novel, Leda, and published a small mme of erotic verse, me Nightshades. He traveled ex- tensively, during this period, in Greece and the Aegean Islands. He contacted the fever at Piraeus in 1951 and was forced to retire to a secluded estate in the southeastern United States, where he now resides and pro- duces occasional verse and letters which have been publish- ed in TE Kenyon Review, E Review and other note- worthy periodicals.

From The Kenyon Review, Volume XXI, Number 3, 1957. - THE WYETH ESTATE NEAR MARTINEZ, GEORGIA Sept. 10, 1964 Notwithstanding the plaudits heaped each year onto the various entering classes by the assembled Deans and faculty, this writer fif I may so pre- sumptuously call myself! has been impressed with the sing- ular blandness of these groups. In truth, it seems each year that aclass could not be found which wouldbe as colorless, as harm- onious, as nice as the entering one, but twelve months later another tribe of honogeniety arises to equal, yea, even sur- pass, its predecessor. The Admissions Office says more applicants have yielded better classes: the register says grades are higher than ever: the president says this is aca- demic progress: but l say finks --FINKS, FINKS, FINKS! Par- don that emotional digression from my usual Victorian prose. Ah, what has become of those jabled characters of my youth who vented their creativity and contempt in and around the hallowed halls of medicine. Where is Boss Don and his political machine which swept to a write-in victory in the famous elections of 1962: where Filthy Bill and his infamous bedsheets burned by a mob one sad nightq What has become of L. E. Code 10 Mills, legendary founder of the secret Physicians Club, and creator of that unequalled phrase, prophylactic sleep : where hides Old Man Mac , tanned from his poolside hours and baggy-tweed pockets bulging with golf balls' What ears now hear the quips of Big Al , the Gopher , who replied when his oral examiners asked about what would he like to talk, About five minutes? My mind con- jures up the image of Cadaver Hands and Shoes Dugan cheerfully fighting in the wee hours of the morn, the image of Cool Mike systematically cursingevery person at aparty. Who can forget the dauntless . 3 MA X,-,--.,ts.1....d1-1...-e.. ,. . .em ... A .. . . . Phi Rho Rockettes plus One, the hard core of any party, singing Hot Nuts from the piano top: and who forget the Dirty Foot Five, famed wrest- ling team, and their never to be forgotten fifteen rounder with Evelyn at the Club 789 Who will take their places' Not these objective youths, minds like polished mirrors re- flecting textbooks and diagrams, personalities motivated by social pressures and faculty fears. Far more alive to me, yesteryear, of dubious are those men of those malcontents character and aspirations, those of interest teeming cesspools and education. In the electric words of my father, Isaac Tate Baldrey-Genzi,who was relieved of his physical being on The Rock in '08, Ecce homo. 'R 123 Herbert Baldrey- Genzi EDI'l'0RIAI. Relative to recent carpings on the subject of attendance at noon-day sessions, we make hold to suggest that more white coats might be seen if these exercises were recognized as legitimate by those in charge of the wards . How often it is that the hard-pressed juniors are subjected to rounds which lingerpastthe stroke of twelve. Also, there is a wide-spread belief among the denizens of the clinics that these really begin at 1 p. m. instead of the scheduled 1:30. Any student so rash as to take the schedule at face value finds himself the object of stares and dark mutterings as he arrives with black bag in hand at the appointed hour.
