I Left Princeton, But I Graduated Harvard,

I Also Had This Mistaken Dream, Fantasy Really - Perhaps Because I'm Good At Languages - Of Being Able In Both Italy And France To Become Someone Else Through My Fluency In The Language.

My Idea Was To Go To Vienna To Study Conducting And Perhaps Play In An Orchestra First, So I Thought Before I Got To Vienna I Could Do With A Little Training In Paris.

And I Finished College Because I Thought How Much It Would Upset My Parents If I Didnt.

And Then, When I Left Princeton In The Middle Of My Sophomore Year, I Went Into The Navy.

After The Navy, I Transferred To Harvard And Finished There. I Was There The Spring Term Of 1951 And I Stayed Through The Summer Term And A Whole Other Year, So I Was Able To Do Two Years In A Little Less Than A Year And A Half.
