Gill Requests Leave To Work on Writing

Richard T. Gill '48, instructor in Economics and Allston Burr Senior Tutor of Leverett House, has asked for a year's leave of absence from his Economics Department duties next year to devote more time to writing. He will continue as Leverett's Senior Tutor.

Winner of the 1954 Atlantic Monthly Award for the best short story by a new author, Gill has since written stories for the New Yorker and the New York Times Book Review. He will devote some of his time to work on a novel.
