pious solemnity that never shall
its fair name be desecrated with
so unrepresentative, so undemo
cratic a thing as a dance. Not
because a dance is repugnant to
the refined moral sensibilities of
the class, nor in any other way
wrong,, but because every mem

of equal pie to all and special

real principle at the bottom of all

stage of culture at which the
ability to shuffle one's feet across

distinction and social elevation.

During the past week or two
there has been a great revival, or
rather attempted revival, of in

year and this year the Magazine, '
to speak mildly, has been poor.
The serious essays have been
well written, have been on stan
dard classic topicshave probably
made fairly good literature,
but have not been read. The
stories have been scarce and
sorry. And the poetry has been
one long scream. The Magazine
has been truly, despite the fran
tic efforts of editors, sad, very
sad.
This fact has dawned on the
English Department. The de
partment has come to the con
