" One of his teammates was Mike (Doc) Powers, a future major leaguer who, at the time, was the captain of the baseball team at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. Powers was impressed with Sockalexis' talent, and convinced Louis, a Catholic, to enroll at the Jesuit-run institution. This he did in the fall of that year.

“I first played with the St. Mary’s College team, of Van Buren, Maine, and then with Ricker’s College, after which I went to Holy Cross. I was a great favorite at Holy Cross, with which team I played center field.” “I have seen printed in several papers that the Cleveland players are liable to freeze me out of the club because I am an Indian. That is all bosh, for the white players can’t do enough for me, especially Burkett, who is said to be jealous because I lead him in batting. Jesse is proud of me because I have made such a good showing, he having recommended me to Manager Tebeau. It was while playing with the Holy Cross team at Williamstown, two years, that John M Ward, told a League manager to sign me. Burkett, who coached the Holy Cross team, finally got Tebeau to let me have a trial.” http://didthetribewinlastnight.com/blog/2014/04/11/a-story-and-interview-of-louis-sockalexis/

' “I was raised in the Northeast,” said actress Sally Field, playing in 1981 a Miami investigative reporter in the movie drama “Absence of Malice.” She continued: “I had my first job there summer when I was 16, on the  Berkshire Eagle . I wonder if they’d have me back.” When co-star Paul Newman listened to her utter that line, he might well have thought of Williamstown, where he visited and where his wife, Joanne Woodward, was a regular on the Williamstown Theatre Festival stage.

" In 1965 the group – Dodd, Tamblyn, Valentino and Lane – signed with Capitol Records' labelTower, teaming up with producer Ed Cobb. Cobb wrote the group's most popular song, "Dirty Water", which the band recorded in late 1965. The song's references to the city ofBoston are owed to Cobb's experiences with a mugger in Boston. The song also makes reference to the Boston Strangler and the dorm curfews for college women in those days.[12] " https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Standells
