Corpus Evidence

The Hamilton Life articles (1935–12–10, 1936–06–13, 1937–04–27, 1937–09–29) document “William Masters ‘38” as a student athlete and campus figure during his undergraduate years. The Spectator article from April 20, 1973 makes the identification explicit: “William Masters, a Hamilton graduate and the co-author of Human Sexual Response, will receive an [honorary degree]” and later confirms “Among the other recipients of honorary degrees is William Masters, who graduated from Hamilton in 1938 and attended the University of Rochester Medical School.”
