From sam kusnetz '02:
“joyce reed, former associate dean of the college and the only person in university hall besides ruth simmons who ever actually both listened and talked to me, was an undergrad and graduate at brown (english, ‘61 and ‘65) and founded pw along with two other students whose names, unfortunately, elude me. i spoke with her during my senior year about pw, because i was interested in our origins, and i think we had a plan to write a brief history of pw as part of our elaborate tf green renovation response.
according to her, mr. foreman led the charge for student directed work on campus, and energetically encouraged reed and these two others to continue what he and they started by incorporating as a student group. i do not know whether, during his years, they called it production workshop, but he was never actually an official part of the pw board.
so foreman both did and did not start pw. having spoken with dean reed, i am inclined to credit her with the tinder and foreman with the match.”
from Immer: Sam Kusnetz does not believe in using capitalization. While grammatically questionable, it is stylistically impeccable.
