A M H E R S T UNDERGRADUATE
VERSE ,1926: Compiled by David
Iorton; iMarshall Jones Company,
Boston. $1.00
We Middle-Westerners are inclined
to scoff Eastern college "culture"; but
some of their ideas are good. "Am-
herst Undergraduate Verse, 1926" is
the second annual anthology of poetry
written by students of Amherst Col-
lege. Most of the poems, as the Edi-
tor's Note informs us, are first tested
in the meetings of the Amherst group
of the Poetry Society of America,
where undergraduate aspirants em-
phasize and criticize each others
ideas on love and co-education, and
other pertinent topics. Many of them
appear-in "Amherst Writing", an occa-
sional college magazine comparable
to Michigan's "Inlander". David Mor-
ton, the compiler, is evidently an en-
courager of production, but not a hin-
derer to originality. He himself is a
poet of several volumes and a well-
reputed teacher.
The poems are fresh and obviously
collegiate. They are the expression of
anyone's thoughts who is hurrying
through the evanescent days of study-
ing and life at college; sonnets, qua-
trains, and stringy things which look
like a prehensile tail affixed to the
title; love, nature, college observa-
tions, even "Football." Some of them
would. do full justice to "T)asted
Rolls", while others would be a great
help to the "Inlander." If they are
open imitations, they are worthy ones;
if they are undeveloped, still they
show promise.
Amherst's idea is a pleasant one.
As far as we know, it is original; cer-
tainly it is worthtemulating. It is an
encouragemnent to original effort,
which every college needs.
--W. 1.
"THE GIFT OF THE MAGI" was
written by 0. Henry in order to break
a long term contract which The New
York World was paying him much
less than his stories were worth be-
cause of their sudden popularity.

"Rollo's Journey to Cambridge" is a
delightful, rollicking parody on the
Rollo books of Jacob Abbott which en-
thralled our fathers when they were
young. The story first appeared in the

sonl. Doubleday, Page announces at
least five titles of major significance.
"Debits and Credits" is noteworthy
because it is Mr. Kipling's first book

of the Mississippi river, "Show Boat",

the historical facts in the story. It
is highly probable that the Harvard
campus never saw such characters as
the Chinese professor, who ran a laun-

and the bounding form of the Regis-

A
Memory Tonic
It is surprising how the ever-read-
iness of Eversharp prompts the
jotting down of passing thoughts
and facts-and how quickly the
habit of"writing it down" improves
the ability for accurate remembrance.
Six new features make Eversharp
a finer writing instrument than
before-non-clogging rifled tip,
quick reloading, complete inter-
changeability of parts, are the most
important.
Put a new Eversharp in your
pocket. And for complete prepared-
ness, match it with a Wahl Pen.
Prices $1 to $45, at all dealers.
