Illustrated  with photographs and drawings. Yearbook for the second of
three  years that Tennessee Williams attended the university with  his
small  photograph  on his fraternity's page along with  his  brothers,
who  dubbed him Tennessee for his Southern drawl. Some brothers  later
figured  as  characters  in his plays including Harold  Mitchell  in A
STREETCAR  NAMED  DESIRE. An important period in Williams's life,  one
of  the most normal for that matter, very shortly after he had written
his  first  play, BEAUTY IS THE WORD, and when he was discovering  his
sexual  orientation.  Owner  name of student on front  free  endpaper.
