...only in the peculiar perversion of the English language that "Leffing Ges" is comparable to "Nize Baby", but even in the type of stories told. For example, in this latest work we again meet "De Boston Tea Potty", "Crissty Colombiss" and the perpetual menace of "Leetle Rad Riding Hood." But then perhaps the possibilities are limited. They are, indeed, between the Grossian and Burbigian dialects. As one well versed in the variations of 'English as she is spoke', this reviewer, at a guess, would say that the raconteur of Mr. Burbig's stories is of mixed Jewish and Italian parentage...

She enjoys "most any type book, particularly college stories." She also says: "I would like to be a high school teacher when I have completed high school and college...
Etchings, lithographs, and woodcuts by artists most of whom have work of some other type in the display are another feature of the exhibition.

With such academic recognition for the history of native writing as a start, a further progression may commence...
...type of publication made possible by these awards is just as vital to Harvard, the college of Liberal Arts, as the aeronautical experiments carried on further down the river by means of the Guggenheim Foundation. Indeed, the resemblance is far deeper than this mere similarity of proportion, since the modern study of the humanities is really in the scientific manner. The archaeologist, the philologist, the historian must be quite as definitely and concretely trained in his own work as the student of chemical research is in his, and, what is more important, must be nearly as well equipped financially...
