LIKE the poor, we have with us always first novels. A few reach excellence, more stop at mediocrity, and most never climb at all. Now just where "God Head" belongs still puzzles me, for it lacks the genuine drive and surge of intense artistry. On the other hand, it is unusually well constructed for the garden variety of fiction, while its predominant values place it well above the color level of such books.

The crowd loudly announced...
...their income, the men of the class of 1926 will keep in direct contact with the University. Since the fund aspires to secure a greater number of individual subscriptions rather than single, large bequests, young graduates will in no sense be placed under the financial pressure of an endowment drive...
