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.

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
