1933 Cedrus Yearbook

CEDRUS STAFF Poetry has received the approval of the generations. Between the distinctly great pieces which all men competent to judge would accept without hesitation, and the distinctly inferior pieces which these same persons would as summarily reject, there lies a vast body of verse, the appeal of which depends on individual choice. In the colleges of this land we have tried to keep literature at the top of our appre- ciation list. More and more we are giving our attentions to the so-called developments and movements in literature, which gives us an adequate realization of historical background and perspective. In the universities all over our nation and in foreign lands, we have stressed the requirements of a literary course before graduation. Many of the topics studied by advanced students of literature likewise connect closely with questions of economic and social development. The rapid growth in circulation of magazines suggests that literature is becoming more and more the chief source of pleasure of the masses. To maintain this position of prominence, literature must contrive to adapt itself to new conditions, and reveal itself in new forms. Through this metamorphosis will evolve an ever higher, more meaningful style of literary expression. —Arthur Donaldson. high order from the point of view of literature.

Special attention was usually attracted to the new additions to the faculty row. Among this body in '29 was Miss Dorothy Angevine, the new head of the English and Latin Departments. • She was the little member of the "big three" who lived at Mrs. Oglesbee's, for the personal chapronage of the Misses Eloise McLaughlin and Sarah Margaret Chance.
