And finally, a note to express my amusement that Brown's alumni magazine has added a "double crostic" puzzle in each issue. Games Magazine and the New York Times have had these for years, but usually with mildly humorous quotes, or quotes with interesting facts.

On the other hand, the magazine has it as "excell." I wonder who spelled it wrong, Brown or Plath.

I have the urge to excel in one medium of [translation and] expression [of life]. I can't be satisfied with the colossal job of merely living. [Oh, no,] I must order life in sonnets and sestinas and provide a verbal reflector for my 60-watt lighted head.
