But if, like Horace Walpole, he is as waspishly well-bred as his father was openhanded and bluff, he doubtless does better to observe than participate.

Lance Kerr, of Sun Valley, Calif., told newsmen that he likes swimming and baseball, hopes to be a research physicist, hopes his classmates like him. They doubtless will, but there is an age gap. Freshman Kerr* is only twelve years old, the youngest student in U.C.L.A. history...
