This poet and scholar has long had the fate to be efficient in university administration: he could make one pink card do what two blue cards had done before; he could chart the careers of professors and plot the curves of deans; he could embroider academic records in beautiful sampler designs, and prune, if need be, catalogues and committee reports into the most lovely shapes--hearts, crosses, pyramids, love-knots.
