...current issue "A Plea for Prose." So far as my own experience goes, it is unique in either academic or professional journalism. Yet I should not be surprised if it were found significant of the general literary situation. I understand that it has become increasingly difficult to get good stories for the magazines, one reason being the greater profit from writing scenarios for the "movies," another the deductive attraction of vers libre.

College, Bowdoin, Pennsylvania and Columbia, and, provided Captain Russell is fencing up to his usual form the chances are very good for a University victory in the team championships this year. Besides the University, Columbia, Bowdoin, Pennsylvania, Yale and the Navy have entered teams, with the midshipmen the strongest opponents of Coach Leslabay's pupils for team honors.
