"Salt Lake" was translated from thef
French by Florence and Victor Llona.
For the most part it is smooth read-
ing, but now and again a phrase in- I

translation of a French phrase. Fors.
example, Doctor Hurt, the Secretary
of Indian affairs in the Territory of
Utah, says of Salt Lake, "Is it not the S
most adorable if cities?" and h con-
tinually addresses Mrs. Lee as "lovely
friend," an expression familiar enough

Here I depart for a moment to gaze
in wonderment at Ohio State Univer-

"The Yellow and Blue" out of my win-
dow.for all the loyal students to hear.
Several months before Lwisohn's
book came out, I. discussed him, with
several Ohio State men. To my great
surprise, they had never heard of him,
despite the fact that he is recognized
as being one of the two best dramatic p
critics in the land, despite the fact
that he has translated a number of S
the best works Germany has ever pub-
lished, despite the fact that he has 5
written two magnificent books of his
own on modern literature and drama,
and despite the fact that he was at
Ohio State University until 1917! -
I was surprised at this ignorance, -
but I had still another shok when a
number of that- college's eminent -
boobs wrote to influential men on this
campus trying to have young Bower-
man guillotined for writing his article
,on Ohio State in a recent number of
Chimes. I never, in all my life, heard
of anything so poltroonish.
The final and completely convincing -
blow came. with the .reading of
Lewisohn's book, with the reading of
how he was hounded and snubbed and
'intimidated until he was glad to take
leave of the place. Viewing the whole
matter I donult whether there is a lss
cltural institution in this whole
great Land of the Free than at Colum-
bus. - There may be some intelligent p
men down there but I have never dis-
covered any, excepting Bowerman,
and he is an apostate. Bowerman
may not be a scholar, but he is in-
telligentaand culturedtand that is
more than I can say at present for
any of the rest. Now for the long
range guns from the middle of Ohio; G
now for a barage of garbage! -
Lewisohn's narrative runs sweetly
until the Ohio State episode, it runs
with an even and beautiful note of
melancholy. It stays firm during all
his hitter years, through all his die-
appointments and the struggles of
himself, of his parents, of his young ill
