...Wilder '32 won the Lee Wade Prize for Elocution with his rendering of Calvin Coolidge's speech before the Massachusetts Senate in January, 1914. At the same time D. D. Lloyd '31 was awarded the Boylston prize for his recitation of "Byron" by Vachel Lindsay. W. H. Melish '31, who rendered "A Peace Worth Preserving" by Wilson, and J. L. Ware '30, who recitated "The Passing of Arthur" by Tennyson won the two other prizes. The 1929 competition was won with declamations of selections from older authors, such as "Orpheus and Eurydice" from Virgil's Fourth Georgic, in Latin...

Turning from the thoughtful and carefully composed essay of Mr. Melish the reader comes upon E. L. Belisle's "Dialogues of the Half Dead"--the order is rather reversed since Mr. Belisle's sketch occupies the opening pages of the issues. Here is something in quite a different vein--a sort of Babel of philosophers, poets, and literary figures of all ages and kinds. The scene is half-way up Olympus; the characters range from Aristotle, Socrates, Aristophanes, through Rabelais, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, to Freud, Joyce, Lawrence, Babbitt and many others.
