Men of Action as Willowby Lecturers
An illustration for Professor Newman's lecture prompts Willowby summer residents to recall how he described men of action. Hiram Gale recounts how Pick Willis and Sack Hobart helped the lecturer regain balance, prompting a lasting nickname Willowby’s men of action. The professor later delivered a strong talk and plans to return, with breakfast the next day praised for its practical, sensible tone.
