We are sad to share the news of the passing of Charles Dessau Atkinson III '58, longtime trustee of The Harvard Advocate and a valued member of the Cambridge community.

This story was originally written for a national magazine at the turn of the century but never printed. In the intervening fifteen years, regrettably if inevitably, some of the participants have died, elders being the repository of communal memory. I have made no note of this fact, nor of any other events of the past decade and a half. The article is printed here, all but unchanged, a sort of literary bogman—or like the Advocate itself.
