"Book Rives
(West-Running Brook, by Robert Frost,
Henry Holt & Co,)
As a rule, modern poets do not grow
old gracefully, They exhaust themselves

published “early work” appears side by
side with new poems which bear the
marks of effort rather than: inspiration.
They try very hard to see things.as they
used to see‘ them; and the result is as
pamful as a fixed gmile on a sad face,

In West-Running Brook Robert. Frost
has somehow avoided these pitfalls, Per-

haps he wouldn’t even like it said, that he|’

was growing old gracefully.. Yet the fact

pte oe
-widor and tensity Of his” egtlier work]
that he is no longer capable of long
passages of sustained power, such as
“Home-Burial” or “A Servant to Seérv-
ants” in North of Boston. Nor has he
shrunk from publishing poems left over
from earlier periods. He frankly gives
the dates, as if willing. to admit that he
has arrived at the age of reminiscence.
From this ‘it follows- that the book is a
collection of scattered thoughts,
the unity of North, of Boston or Moun-
tain Interval,

If
his. strength has failed him, Mr. Frost
has lost none of his charm. Instead of
straining fof the old effects that made
him a name, the -poet actépts his milder

best section of the book ‘is called “Fiat
Nox” and is introduced by this couplet :
“Let the night be too dark fér me to. see
_ Into the future, Let ‘what will bé be.”

If the poems “which toilow are the.
saddest in the collection as well as the
finest, let it not be thought that Mr.
Frost. has turned pessimist. He is too
much a lover of nature to hate life. His’
attitude is one of acceptance, in which
there is joy and faith as well as sadness.

Turning his back on the human psy-
chology which was the essence of North
of Boston, Frost has become ‘more of a
natural psychologist than ever, ‘A tree to
him has'as much character as a man, if
not more; and it is not only for their
form and color that he is fascinated by4
woodsy things. I. like best of all the
poems in this book one called “Tree at
It looks. in at him, and
he looks out at it: :

“But, tree, I have’ seen you taken and
tossed,

You have seen me when I was taken and
swept
And all but lost.”

Echoes of all Mr. Frost’s past work,
however,. may still be found in West-
Running Brook. “Over Back,” a series
of four poems, recalls the keen New Eng-
land studies -of Mountain Interval; the
title poem is a development of the kind
of metaphysical fantasy that was given
free rein in the collection called New
Hampshire;: and there are even faint
echoes of the poet’s early er in San
Francisco, where : :
“All the dust the wind blew ‘higlf ©

But I was one of the’ children told
Some of the dust was really gold,”
The poet has never before touched on.

The Foolishness. of Censorship

Censorship of filth is a good thing, just
as covering garbage is a good thing.
Garbage is covered because it offerids
people’s nostrils, and spreads disease.
Filth is censored for practically the, same
reason.

But the fhost aneasonabte censor of
all is the general public, divided as it is
into groups and cliques. And it censors
everything that doesn’t need to be cen-
“sored. >

~The Y. M. C. A. issued a pamphlet to
guide young people in the affairs of sex.
After it had been broadcast over the
country doing incalculable good, some
cerisors, representing _ the public opinion
“evidently, banned it. One would think
that the pamphlet was doing too much
good for their liking, and that~it“was in
their interests to stop that good being
done. But, mind you, the public was the
real censor, and public protests ordered
the pamphlet to be banned.”

Cut Out ;

The New Stygent announces further
progress in libe and responsibility :

One admirable ‘college reform that. is
making considerable headway this win-
ter is optional class attendance, Over a
dozen colleges have granted it to favored
groups since the- college year opened.
Students who managed to get this meas-
ure accepted “in principle” by the au-
thorities are reminded that very often
what the Dean giveth ¥the college .pro-
fessor taketh away. The Barnard Bulle-
tin complains that although this was to
bea year.of experiment in senior free-|
dom from compulsory attendance, .some|
professors have practiced, ‘nullification.
“A most immediately we were warned of
the psychological \ effect .absence from
class would have on professors. To
climax the whole attitude,.we know at
least one inStructor who .hefe gone to the
extreme of giving an extra *xamination
tc all seniors who have overcut.”



Radcliffe Smokes

After voting on the question in each

an indoor smoking rule. For the first
‘time-aroort it -eacli hall is to be set
aside as a smoking room for most of

du not share with them, however. Their
smoking privileges are, apparently, sus:
pended from 10 o’clock at night until
after breakfast. Not for them the mid-

News Notes on Prohibition

News notes on Prohibition in’ the
colleges :

At the University of Michigan, Presi-
dent Little invited the Prohibition au-
thorities to find owt the extent of drink-
ing on the campus.

Much and heated discussion was in-
dulged in by various citizens of, Virginia
on. the. subject of student drinking at
the .State university. To the Governor
of Virginia the State superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League addressed a let- |
ter deploring the quantity of*iquor con-
sumed on the campus and. asking the
University to permit Federal prohibition
agents “As uninterrupted access to the
university grounds, fraternity houses, and
student body as bootieguers are reputed
to have.”

“*Well-dressed, with a pleasing mannér
and the air of a boya fide college stu-
dent,” a revenue officer appeared at a
University of North Carolina fraternity
house at the time of an intercollegiate
football game, took down the names of
all the. fraternity bootleggers gers and casually
appropriated all the wet goods in sight.

and the rest of the world thinks of as

We Defend It

Satlirday was the saving grace. The:
Assembly started its business promptly
with a resolution brought in by the head
of the delegation from the Netherlands
(Mr. John’, Rockefeller, ‘of Princeton)
that the international character of, the |,
Secretariat should be _ strictly preserved
and high ‘offices more evenly distributed
among the Powers. At present there are
five chief*officegrheld by the Great Pow-
ers, thus tending to make the Secretariat
‘a center of. political influence. _ Miss Gell-
horn, representing Italy,*’at once’ took
the floor to defend the wielding of politi-
cal influence : Italy is, a, Jarge.t nation with
vital “ime: cc... hoeterisive’ duties ; *shet”
needs influence and will use it for her
own national good; this was the -burden
of Miss Gellhorn’s remarks, forcefully
put and forcefully expressed. No one
agreed excep# a few minor Powers like,
Chile and- New Zealand, but* everyone
applauded. The ‘only cloud arose from
Miss Gellhorn’s quoting the old maxim
that “God helps those that help. them-
selves.” We heard that phrase thrown
back at us again and again, but only
once with effect. A delegate from the
Netherlands (that is, Princeton) | in-
quired: ““To° what dées Italy Wish. to
help herself?” Twice again, Italy, in the
persons of Miss Gellhorn and Miss Fain
rose to defend het ungrateful but em-
phatic position, and was each time gladly
hailed. As one vote was enough to de-
feat the resolution it was not passed.

The next two resolutions, reported by
the sixth Committee of the Assembly,
and introduced by the head of: the Ger-
man delegation, Mr. Harold M. Long’ (of| =
Colgate College), concerned the matter
of mandates. The first resolved that
compulsory labor, .commonly known as
slavery, be abolished in the mandated ter-
ritories except for essential public works;
