...group, MacNeice had the most gaily matter-of-fact and the most realistically despairing things to say. His three exciting Eclogues (For Christmas, By a Five-Barred Gate, From Iceland) established him among modern-poetry readers as the gleeman-laureate of England's cushy post-World War I civilization and of its dismal decline. And in his shorter lyrics MacNeice had many high-spirited skirmishes with reality...

...organized youth movement is a fairly new thing on the American scene, a development of the post-World War disillusion and the economic strains of the depression. Growing out of this background, it has supported the social reforms of the New Deal, and has opposed forces making for American involvement in war. Looking back to 1914, many Americans of college age noted that there were no well-organized youth movements then working for peace, and took heart for the future, trusting that the mobilized peace sentiment of 1940 undergraduates would help make World War II a different story...
