lems from 1951 to 1956 he served on the council's committee on humanities and he is a fellow of berkeley college but he has held no official post at any col lege and is the first master in yale's history not to have done so a way of life one of the exciting things about president brewster's offer ing me this position he said in an interview last night was his being willing to bring in a non teacher to bring into the col lege a way of life from outside the usual academic structure in announcing the appoint ment president brewster said yale is very lucky to have the pierson college mastership pass from one creative hand to an other quincy and lois porter have made pierson a gay and active community and they will be greatly missed by hordes of close friends john and barbara hersey will be a great addition to the yale community and the students and fellows of pierson should ben efit greatly from their resi dence there have been rumors of some discontent in the pierson fellowship over mr hersey's ap pointment mr hersey is the third consecutive master of the college who was not a pierson fellow before his appointment quincy porter retiring pierson master and

page 7 the oldest college daily the following are some of john mersey's remarks upon being appointed master of pierson : it strikes me that the liveliest people in the united states al the resent time are students the best of them all over the country have just about usurped from novelists their traditional gift — that of being able to remind everyone that life doesn't have to be as dull and stupid and de grading as it so often seems a novelist should welcome being brought up shnrt being reconstituted and rejuvenated i look fo d to this experience in an unashamdly selfish wax he hoped in 1963 that a great deal of the cultural life would move towards colleges i think that now this process is becoming realized and help ing to realize that is one of the things that excites me about this
