men, nor the panic that seeks to suppress whatever critical acutenes1
may be shown by them. It is precisely the business of a teacher
to allow the development of these intimations of intelligence. In the
conduct of a magazine the only dangerous thing is inertia; the
unpardonable sin is stupidity. The intellectual adventure is always the
chief thing.
The present Inlander, from whatever reasons, is a better magazine.
It is the best I have seen by a long way. It is not better because it
has outside contributors. It is better because the student material is
better. But it is not good enough yet. There is not sufficient interest,
or variety of interest, to make it representative of a campus like Michi-
gan; nor is the outside material particularly good. But it is. on the.
way, and not to read or to like this number is to confess, a complete
hopelessness about the future of our student-writers.
Holden, Gorman, and Donnelly are sandwiched on the cover between
Kreymborg and Glenn Frank, and they need not regret it. Glenn.
Frank's name does honor to the magazine, but his piece scarcely does
justice to him. It is an essay on journalism that is neither clear nor
realistic. It is difficult to say what he is after. Journalism seems to'
be a matter of technique-of accuracy in reporting; if that is what!
it is, and all that it is, what does he mean by the lovely phrases: secular
priesthood, adventure, culture, beauty? It is clear that Mr. Frank
approves of journalism, but not at all clear what it is he approves of.
Mr. Kreymborg has generously sent a charming poem that would grace
any magazine.
These are the airs and graces. The real stuff is to be found in the
contributions of W. J. Gorman, Walter Donnelly, and Willis Holden.
Mr. Gorman writes a critical essay, that would not be rejected by the
Bookman, on Virginia Woolf and the Novel. He sets the Balzac-Flau-
bert-Hardy novel of presentation ('homme n'est rien, l'oeuvre est tout'
as he quotes from Flaubert) as a way of approach to the novels, if they
are novels, of Mrs. Woolf. In this setting it is clear that Mrs. Woolf has
deliberately minimized the importance of 'presentation' in the novel,
interesting herself instead in the reflections, the attitudes, for which
'reality' is an assumption. (Mr. Gorman might have availed himself
of Mrs. Woolf's remarks in the Mark on the Wall). To Mr. Gorman, who
accepts the nineteenth century view of reality, and therefore its presen-
tation-of-life form in the novel, and perhaps will not allow himself to
believe that this came to an end in Joyce's Ulysses, Mrs. Woolf's work is
therefore better described.in terms of poetry: as a "novelist's inordinate
and copious lyric." That is well argued, and by the way Mr. Gorman
makes many brilliant elucidations; but his conclusion is no resting
place. It is even more difficult to class her work as lyric than to class
it as novel. The only conclusion for the novel is a fresh beginning;
and Mrs. Woolf, the most important woman writing in ngland, can
only be thought of as the initiator of a new kind of novel.
Mr. Holden, in his Cambersden goes to Bed, without doubt is her
disciple. He, too, is interested only in reflections and occasional atti-
tudes. But it is now apparent that Mr. Gorman does less than justice
to Mrs. Woolf's sense of character and sense of theme, Athough he
rightly points out her sense of the scene. Mr. Holden at the moment
has none of these, except an adumbration of the last. His is a reverie,
skillfully articulated, but in the end impotent because empty of human
relationships. Mr. Holden has yet to find objectivity in character, and
definite progression of theme. His style, like that of many young writers,
reminds one of Raymond Hitchcock in Mr. Manhattan. It is all dressed
up and no place to go.
Definite movement and objectivity are achieved by Mr. Donnelly in
his clever expressionistic portrait of a mentally diverting but possibly
scatter-brained actress on the beach with a young man. The allusive
method, which is narrowly but not obscurely personal, combined with
the expressionistic attitudinising, makes a sketch of unusual interest.
Perhaps it is the most interesting piece of writing the Inlander has seen.
The two stories are readable; especially good is Miss Bristol's The
Everlasting Arm. It is an interesting example to students, who have
hitherto not been quite inventive enough. The poetry is, with the
exception of Kreymborg and Dillon, quite disappointing. The Misses
Cosand and Wesenberg should have given place to Miss Frances Jen-
nings, who is not represented, and who can be, on occasion,, the best
poet on the campus. There are five poems by an ambiguous Lester
John who is vaguely described by the editors as a young man ... .
who bobs up in Paris now and then. He can't bob up half as unexpect-
edly as his lines bob up in these poems. One might say they are
remarkably good lines in remarkably bad poems. Will no one tell us
who Lester John is? Will no one tell me what he sings?
On the whole, the present Inlander is a plucky and adventurous
magazine. If the editors, who are an able group of students, can sell
it, it will be read with real interest. And if it is read, there can be no
further excuse for pessimism, and no reason in the world why the
best writers on the campus should not be appearing in it.

A Review by William,J. Gorman
Raymond Morin in recital last night had the very definite merit of
being for the most part intellectually aware of his metier. The music he
played he had intelligently judged. His interpretations were eminently
honest (which often means unambitious but here more probably means
appropriate to a sensibility not yet nursing the virtuoso ambitions of the
proud interpreter who dares and dotes on distortion.) His strategic
poise and self-awareness will make the intellectual aspect of his recitals
in the future extremely attractive as pianists who don't overshoot the
mark are rare because of the popularity of the virtuoso tradition.
Unfortunately just at present Morin lacks the technical equipment
necessary for complete articulation. The very evident labor in his style
make his communications unconvincing because of oiir visual recognition
of himself struggling with them. Over-laboriousness is not a serious
defect, being due to immaturity, for which no young man is blameable.
But at present it is somewhat damaging. The first movement of Brahms
Sonata (being the most obvious case in point because it was his worst
offering) illustrates this damage. The writing there is by the early
Brahms, still under the influence of the strong-armed school of pianists.
Hence, muscular force producing strongly contrasting sonorities is the
correct pianistic approach to it. The contrasts are of force rather
than of melodic or tone quality. The interpretation needed is one by
intensification and diminution of vibratory power. Morin was perfectly
aware of this, calling upon all the power in his equipment for the
adumbration of Brahms' youthful vigor. But it was such an effort
for him physically and pianistically that distortions that were never
