Tableaux By Design Department "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" presented a group of angels pointing out the Star of the East to a group of shepherds. The last of the four tableaux was a representation of the "Madonna and Child." The tablesaux were designed and executed by members of the department of design of the Fine Arts school.

Robertson wrote. In self-defense, the School of Fine Arts decided to eliminate such witty peeyoing by inviting the caustic critic to take part in the vespers this year. Those who did not be the bearded funnyman was to be in the chair and consequently went to the program, report that as a choirboy Robertson batted about .100 which is considered a very poor average—for batto Robertson.
