...elusive fire of originality. Mr. Wilson might just as well said that Miss Parker was of the Petrarch school, since her sonnet form bears resemblances to his. To condemn a lady who pens admirable hymns of hate to any one school is dogmatic especially when that lady can write a touching sonnet concerning a maid standing waiting at the gate and concluding with the illuminating statement that "it was the gate her true love gave her." That Miss Parker revels along with Miss Millay in the "back and sides go bare; go bare" motif is undeniable, but in spite...
Wives of lawyers and mothers of three daughters do not, as a rule, write novels, so Mrs. Colby proceeded to tell a bit about herself and her work: "This is my first novel. . . . How did I come to write it? Oh, I don't think I can tell you that. You see, I believe these things just come out of the subconscious mind. ... I write in longhand and I am so messy about it that each chapter has to be re-written a dozen times. I don't think I could use a typewriter- the hammering would distract...

If he wanted to clear the air between Harvard and Princeton, and settle once and for all the Princeton "dirty" football why did he not write for a Harvard-Princeton audience instead of going to a popular, sensational weekly whose circulation is largely among the readers of tabloid newspapers, among the rank and file of the subway strap-hangers, among those outside the collegiate circle, whose only possible interest in the Harvard-Princeton football break...
...each course three members of the class will write a brief evaluation and criticism. These, with the reviews of departments, will be combined either in a "student catalogue", or used in the preparation of a list of recommended courses by the student committee. Nothing so all-embracing as this has ever been attempteed in student course guides. It suggests the possibility that such complete student catalogues be published every fall for use in conjunction with the official university catalogue. This would be the logical culmination of the movement begun by the publication of the first Confidential Guide two year...
