Wilder Arrives in Our Town

THORNTON N. WILDER (Yale '20) moved into his winter quarters in Dunster House last night after a drive up from New Haven. "My first interview must go to Dunster men," he said, in an early outburst of House spirit. (It looks as if the Funsters got to him early.)

Wilder, playwright, novelist, and Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry, will assist the Harvard Dramatic Club this fall in the production of his Pulitzer prize-winning play, "Skin of Or Teeth."

Tomperaily replacing Harry T. Levin '33, professor of English, Wilder will also give the second half of Humanities 2. "The Epic and the Novel."

Reactions to the idea of living adjacent to the two-time Pulitzer Prize winner varied among the third floor Dunster J entry residents. "Got an old copy of 'Our Town' around here some-where," said one, "I'm putting it out on the living room table."
