When Robert Frost wrote aoout " the road not taken," I think of the course not taken. To this day, I still regret not taking the course in dramatic criticism with Elliot Norton at Emerson College. It's not that I didn't want to sign up for Mr. Norton's course, but somehow conflicts with required courses got in the way. Along with other Beantowners, I grew up with the name of Elliot Norton, who for 48 years was the theatre critic for the Hub's news­ papers. A play's opening was synonymous with a scramble to read what Elliot Norton had to say. Always considered fair, he gained an admirable reputa­ tion as the dean of theatre. There were times I walked by the room where the stately, snow-haired Mr. Norton commanded the attention of mesmerized students. Glass doors framed the entire en­ trance into this enormous room that once comprised a drawing room in a Beacon Street dwelling. 1 could see my friends and fellow students capti­ vated by his every word.
