Published after the 23 January annual meeting, in April or May. A report on the awarding of the Edward MacDowell Medal to [[Norman Mailer|Mailer]] on 19 August 1973 is given on pp. 12–13, including excerpts from Mailer’s acceptance speech: “…So the novelist…is out there…to deal with life as something that God did not give us as eternal and immutable, but rather gave us [as] something half-worked.” Rpt: Mailer gives a slightly longer and somewhat different excerpt from the speech in the preface to &#039;&#039;Some Honorable Men: Political Conventions, 1960-1972&#039;&#039; ([[76.5]]). A 120-word excerpt from Mailer’s speech and the bulk of John Leonard’s introduction are reprinted in &#039;&#039;Medal Day at the Colony&#039;&#039;, a 1994 booklet published by the Colony. A quarter of a century later, Mailer again drew on his speech for the foreword to &#039;&#039;The Time of Our Time&#039;&#039; ([[98.7]]).
