One Tuesday evening, October 26th
at 8:15 Queens-Chicora presented
Mrs. Elsie Stokes Moseley in a piano

Mrs. Moseley has taken the place of
Dr. Niniss, who resigned last spring,

pipe organ. She studied last summer
under Edwin Hughes, well-known
pianist from New York City, and
is a very accomplished musician.

—Beethoven
a. Allegro assai
b. Andante con moto
c. Allegro ma non troppo
(2) a. Nocturne Op. 15 No. 2
—Chopin
b. Etude Op 10, No. 12 Chopin
c. Scherzo C ^inor. Op. 39
—Chopin
(3) a. Prelude G Minor
Rachmaninoff
b. Gavotta Op. 32, No. 3

The White House Library, now
containing about 700 volumes, will
soon be augmented by a gift, from
the American Booksellers Association,
of 200 books. The committee choosing
the books is composed of Ruth Bry
an Owen Rhode, author and former
Minister to Denmark; Fannie Hurst,
author and president of the Authors
Guild; Gertrude B. Lane, editor of
the Woman’s Home Companion;
Emily Newell Blair, writer and lec
turer; J. Donald Adams, editor of
The New York Times Book Review;
Irita Van Doren, editor of The New
York Herald-Tribune Books; and
Christopher Morley, novelist, essayist
and critic. Wouldn’t it be grand to
have them choose a library for you!
I am always surprised by the va
riety of subjects people can find to
write books about—unusual subject,
or subjects which I thought were ex
hausted years ago. For instance, I did
not know that cook books were ever
published any more; and yet, right
here in the New York Times Book
Review for October 24, 1937, is a re
view of a new cook book! Working
on the theory that one-fourth of the
vegetables and fruits we know today
“didn’t even exist ten years ago,”
Cora, Rose and Bob Brown tell us
all about how modern. Ingenious,
authentic, and delicious, good cooking
can be. And then there is a book by
Dr. J. B. Rhine of Duke on his ex
periments in mental telepathy—extra
sensory perception, he calls it. And
another which proves that Helen of
Troy bathed in a bath-tub; and that
the Greeks had moving pictures; and
the girls in ancient times used finger
nail polish; and that “their parents
sighed for the good old days be
fore youth got so rambunctious.”
Just imagine!
Paradox and Poet
Teaching at Cleveland College of
Western Reserve University is a
family affair to 12 members of the
faculty. There are now six “husband
and wife” teams teaching at the
college.

Justice Charles Evans Hughes ahead
of President Roosevelt as the great
est living American, a tabulation of
the annual poll of the entering class
disclosed.

Comes now and then a time when
reminiscing merges into physical
sickness and nostalgia holds un
challenged sway ... a time when
a sequence of happenings per
haps foolish things—have occurred
in such order as to cause the mind
to lay violent hands upon the soul.
Foolish things—the sight of a mag
nolia tree in full bloom, the blos
soms limned in exquisite whiteness
against the dull green gloss of leaves
in background, like ivory ships on a
jade mantel; perhaps “Stardust”
looms in muted strain through the
grav curtain of Sunday rain; and
then the soulful pining of a distant
freight whistle. (How painfully true
it is that a man lives only as deeply
as he experiences emotions!)
Can pent-up emotion remain as
such without endangering the mind?
You know that it can’t. But how,
where, when can I express this feel
ing and be temporarily freed? “Emo
tion, turning back on itself and not
leading on to thought or action, is the
element of madness.”
But now I have lead on to thought
and action. Sitting in this room I
have looked out to pines on a dark
ened campus and I have found a
means—perhaps feeble and inade
quate—but at least a channel out of
which this raging fiood may tumble
It must be this:
The sill blocks out
An ivied square
And deep beyond stand
Pines astark.
Deep down emotion’s well
Black currents churn.
And peaked waves reflect
Wan starlight.
Though I can fondle fire.
Yet unburned be.
Is this my delight—this
Grim impersonality?
The stars burn red an answer:
“It is.”
Now I am satisfied for a space
... a short space.
Of the many poets who have made
their contributions, large or small,
to the enriching of the language and
literature of the English-speaking
peoples, one is constantly returning
to my mind as a master of master
ful cynicism. And that one is Steph
en Crane. A man possessed of infinite
depth, of far-reaching insight and
the ability to present his conception
of and faith in God as no other man.
True, he is a cynic, but then, must
every man be naive? Certainly not
Stephen Crane. Though a writer of
ironies. Crane is no boor. Rather is
his style delicate, ethereal, and quite
engrossing. Such men are few; such
poets fewer.
