Abstract
When I was as at Dartmouth, they had this summer home in Maine that some wealthy alumni had donated to the school for faculty vacationing. Each summer, and the summers are short in Maine, they drew out of a hat the names of 12 faculty members who had expressed an interest in staying at the house-each got one week, free of charge, in Booth Bay Harbor-a lovely posting, There was but one requirement, or in the vernacular of Dartmouth, one "tradition"-you had to leave the cottage nicer than it was when you got there, The first year I took cousin Ralph with me, and every day or two we played a round of golf on the nearby public course. We both like to walk in the rough as we go from shot to shot-looking for golf balls (usually our own). We found quite a number, including some of those phosphorescent ones. At the end of the week, there were a dozen shiny and nearly unblemished orange and yellow golf balls in the egg compartment in the refrigerator-a pleasant surprise for any golfer or kid who showed up the next week.
