...Class Ode, by Paul Rice Doolin, is a good chore well done, and there is no particular fault to be found with Mr. King's "Comradeship," in the June number. The Lloyd McKim Garrison Prize Poem, by A. Morley Dobson, shows much skill in the difficult sestina, but far too little depth of judgement. In more senses than one, it is simple to uphold one side of the Flume controversy, and only to rhapsodize, not judge, or analyze the question.

Many men leave the University with an inflated estimate of their own wonder-working skill, but as long as there hangs in the background of their minds a recollection of the thousands who have felt exactly as they feel, as long as they remember that, strangely enough, the world originated in Missouri, as long as they appreciate the exquisite comedy of Self, age 22, leading...
