 Welles refused royalties, which instead went to the Todd school along with generous contributions to the scholarship fund from Welles and his friend Charles Lederer.Todd remained Welles's base of operations for many years, and he returned occasionally to Woodstock for Todd student productions.As a member of the Todd faculty he designed and co-directed a student production of "Twelfth Night" that received first prize in the Chicago Drama Festival competition at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair.
