Douglas M. Knight has written a memoir,
"The Dancer and the Dance."

“His whole account is most sensitively
envisioned against a backdrop of American
culture in the successive decades from the
forties to the end of the century…what is
perhaps the most satisfying is to see it all
come together in the closing pages as if to
answer the question all of us college teachers
have had to ask: “how does a first-rate
liberal education justify itself in the “four-dimensional world ofour common experience?””
--Charles Muscatine,
Professor of English
Emeritus, University of
California, Berkeley
