gold and the western sadeblashee ‘sure | _ Of a friendly hail from other craft, and none more sympathetic than from the deck of the firmly anchored training- ship. If in giving such a salute the writer incurs the grave charge of “en- couraging minor verse,” the reply is that verse written and printed by college students for their own delectation is not “minor verse,” which invites the atten- tion of the public at large; it is college verse, offered to the college public, on the sometimes fallacious assumption that the college community has a lib- eral interest in the achievements of all its members and knows “— to appraise them. All four of the classes of last year are represented in the booklet issued by the Reeling and Writhing Club; but -it should be noted that Miss Mercer and Miss Woodbury, of 1919, and Miss Pit- kin, of 1920, have disinterestedly given their best work to the college publica- tions. Of the fourteen authors, eight, writing fifteen of the twenty-two poems, belong to the class of 1921. One must go back to 1914 and 1908 for latter-day precedents of equal literary initiative, enthusiasm and talent in a single class, The best of the verses, both serious and light—and “the best” includes more than can be given individual mention— are not unworthy to be placed with the best that we remember (those of us that have memories) in Philistines and “Tips” and Lanterns of former years, as example of which I recall—unum e mul- tis—“In Compleynte of South,” by Miss Louden, now Mrs, Burton, reprinted berakei workmanship is one merit of all these poems, notwithstanding that in most of them the difficulty. of peace- fully domesticating the winged’ thought behind bars is here and there apparent. Once only—in Miss Riker’s limpid sin- gle stanza—the feat is accomplished without ruffling a feather. “Navesink,” by Miss Ward, in the October Review, seems to me altogether to surpass in beauty, poignancy and sureness of touch her contribution to Humble Voyagers. Miss Ward, perhaps, pays the penalty of hitching her wagon to a star. Shelley is greater than Kipling; but Kipling is apt to. prove the more immediately prac- ticable gradus ad Parnassum. “Roads,” by Miss Flexner, has assimilated some- thing of the very spirit of “The Ex- plorer,” sams the “Lady “Geraldine” metre. There are lines in “Roads” that one willingly remembers: “Ah! but the free roadways— Keener spirits made them; Blazed them through the jungle, Slipped them through the passes, Coiled them round the hills— Roads of traffic, roads forgotten, Roman roads, and leafy-rotten Hemlock trails, and blue macadam— Pilgrims, pedlars, pioneers, Tourists, gypsies, traffickers— With this spirit that doth keep Mustang souls from souls of sheep—” These lines give agreeable assurance of force in reserve, an assurance that is fortified by Miss Flexner’s two pieces in the current Review.
