  In his 'Autobiographical Sketch', dated June 9, 1961, writing of his time at McGill, Glassco says: 'More importantly, I met Graeme Taylor, with whom I was to spend the next 30 years in a close friendship.' And, in another fragment entitled 'For Continuation of Autobiographical Note', Glassco goes on to say: 'Together with Graeme Taylor I rented an enormous house in Baie d'Urfé (20358 Lakeshore Road) on the shore of Lake St. Louis outside Montreal, & gave myself up to the pleasures of the country (as it was then)....'
  Tzara, Tristan (1896–1963). Poet, playwright, and man of letters, he was born Samuel Rosenstock in Romania. In 1915—while still in his teens, and writing—he changed his name. In that year he moved to Zurich, where in 1916 he was one of the instigators of the anarchic Dada movement, which celebrated the irrational in artistic creation—the illogical, the absurd, and chance—in reaction to the First World War. In 1920 Tzara moved to Paris, at the urging of André BRETON, but did not join his Surrealist movement until 1924 (he left it in 1935). A member of the Resistance during the Second World War, he pursued an active literary career thereafter.
  Glassco, and his friend Graeme TAYLOR, fitted into this portrait of denizens of the Quarter, of which Robert McALMON—if only by virtue of his industry on the typewriter, which was always clattering in his room—was a not entirely typical member.
  The famous bars and cafés of the 1920s have suffered with the passage of time. Some have disappeared completely, others have been changed into newly named establishments with, of course, the tobe-expected alterations that new ownership usually makes. Glassco reports on this sadly in a letter to Kay BOYLE in August 1967. 'The city is a beautiful shell,' he wrote. 'The Coupole is a chic bedlam, the Dingo a Japanese restaurant, the Select hip.—The Jockey has been redecorated; the garden of the Closerie des Lilas is a parking space.'
  This group... centred around the intersection of the boulevards Montparnasse and Raspail... was composed almost entirely of semi-permanent exiles, male and female, who invariably spelled art with a capital A. Their meeting place, almost their home, was the Dôme, a café which... [was] by all odds the most interesting place in all Paris....
