L. Fred Jewett '57, dean of admissions and financial aid, said he would love to have all his admissions folders read for Christmas. He dreams of being able to go to La Scala, the opera house in Milan, for its winter season, however.
A "beautiful cello" as a Christmas present would captivate Raoul Bott, master of Dunster House, who added that "a piano would do, too." On a more mundane level, Bott said neckties or cufflinks didn't sound like a bad idea, since he only has a few of them.
Richard C. Marius, director of the Expository Writing program, also wants "some good prose" for Christmas. Were the Class of '83 entirely composed of magnanimous Santa elves, he might get it.
One faculty prose-writer, Ezra F. Vogel, professor of Sociology, wants as his present "a little free time" and "a lot of publicity for my book." (Vogel recently published a popular account of Japanese society and economy entitled Japan as Number One. Merry Christmas, Professor.)
Sissela Bok, lecturer on Medical Ethics, agreed that seeing her family together for Christmas would be an ideal present. But she added that she's just finished celebrating her birthday, "so Christmas seems very far away."
