...position in the field of poetic endeavor, by way of answering the assertion that he is a provincialist whose colloquialisms are mere gibberish to outsiders. He admits that his primary subject material consists of Maine people, and that the inspiration for his work lies within the area of a particular region. But this does not mean that his poetry is significant with regard to only State-of-Mainers. From the everyday existences, the "Monday and Tuesday" lives, of these people, Coffin declares that he can create a mosaic of universal human traits...

...orderly classification of the work shown, equal respect for every experimental artist whether probably great or palpably minor, explanatory notes for the public. Not all the Museum's shows have been revelations, some have been merely precious, but the documented catalogues for Abstract Art and Dada-Surrealism, in particular, were thorough jobs of making-art- intelligible-while-it's-hot. Among other decidedly valuable contributions to art literature was Photography 1830-1937, by the Museum's scholarly Librarian Beaumont Newhall...

...enter the American Henley, which is sponsored by the American Rowing Association. They enter as an outstanding crew and should certainly have little difficulty with other lightweight college crews. It seems likely also that the second 150's will have an even easier time in their particular class, and they will very likely give the varsity boat a run for their money should they meet them...

This, of course, is mere generalization. In many cases, big names, outside of their publicity value, provide a net profit on the investment. Even if such men are not available to students, they are extremely valuable for the new ideas which they scatter among their colleagues. Here in particular, a man like Richards is capable of injecting a gush of vitality into Harvard's ailing English department. In the final analysis, it is simply a question of whether the giants will continue to progress and to create, or whether they will stolidly rest on past achievement. An in this case...
