Glenn Frank, the brilliant young]
editorof the Century Magazine, wins
friends both because and in spite of
his youth. It seems almost incredible
that a man just nine years out of col-
lege should have made such a nam'e
for himself in the literary world as to
be selected editor in chief of one of
the greatest publications in the coun-
try.
Many credit this phenomenal success
to pure intellectual brilliance. I think,
however, that it would have been quite
impossible for him to make such rapid
strides without the engaging geniality
-and polish which mark his personaiicy
and appearance. The other element
effecting his rapid rise has been his{
vision. No man who has been brought3
to the campus this year has made
such a deep impressioi upon his audi-
ence, except possibly Dr. Merriam,
president of the Carnegie Institute at
Washington.
Of the eight ideas he declared as
absolutely necessary to the future of
Western civilization: a cultural na-
tionalism, an economic international-
