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.
