...being offered for the first time, and the situation could not have been anticipated. It should also be pointed out that, between the spring and fall announcement of courses for the present year, four half-courses had to be withdrawn because of the death of Professor Matthiessen and Professor Guerard's unexpected leave of absence. Since one of these was needed by graduate students, it has been more or less filled by a last-minute change in may own plans; and through the good will of the Slavic Department, next term we are offering a new middle-group course...
Johnson searched retirement lists from coast to coast, finally hired ten. As the New School reopened this week, students found the roster a mighty impressive one. Among the new New Schoolmen were courtly Albert Leon Guerard, 69, historian, biographer, critic (Art for Art's Sake), onetime professor of general literature at Stanford; fierce, fiery Thomas Reed Powell, 70, once Harvard Law School's top expert on the U.S. Constitution; genial, snow-haired Arnold Lucius Gesell, 70, pertinacious chronicler of child behavior (Infant and Child in the Culture of Today, etc.), former director of Yale's Clinic...

His writing is simple and incisive, he has carefully drawn the rusting weapons carriers and fading fatigue uniforms of the demoralized armies. Yet the realism of this story is underlaid with symbolism; the symbolism of the sergeant's night journey to his childhood and attempted rebirth. Guerard tends to overwork a few images: the honey knob of a girl's shoulder and the hovering of aircraft above the battlefield, for instance. He relies upon the disturbing device of a narrator who narrates only at intervals, sees things far differently...
