He is as well one of the most distinguished novelists in the coun try, and each book he writes adds to a slowly growing reputation, all the more secure because it has never been ballyhooed and because the pos sessor of it, incurably unaware of it, is, thank God, ineradicably mod est.

Little Betty June Thomas of Ham er is still selling fast, which, it seems to me, is a compliment to the Amer ican reading public, for, although it. is a beautiful book, it is not a cheer ful me. Deep, thoughtful writing characterizing it, and although it is often exquisite, it is also often, in its philosophy, austere. There is in all the Boyd writing this exquisiteness of expression and thought and feeling, coupled with a frequent Celtic ex tension of imagination and, and I dare say it is Celtic also, thin aus terity of philosophy. The latter two would be justly there, stemming from a Scotch-Irish Presbyterian ancestry. Occasionally our hero, but only occa sionally, is also Presbyterian in his actions and reactions. Possibly that is a good thing. Maybe it saves one from doing a lot of things one let spent a few days last week in ! shouldn t. But then. I’m not so sure about that either.

Interest ing papers were given as follows: It is always fascinating to follow a career from the beginning, and one of the advantages of growing older is that it enables you to do it. If the career is a notably successful one there is satisfaction as well. I first met the future Master of Hounds when he was an undergraduate at Princeton; I graduated a few years before, was an instructor in English. The future Master of Hounds was out for the Tiger and since I had once been chairman of that paper, he came to see me and showed me some jokes and stories. Both were excellent. The Professionul Writer After he graduated I lost him for awhile. He had departed for Trinity College, Cambridge, where he played in one of the first Oxford-Cambridge ice-h.ockey matches. On his return to this country he worked for a while as a reporter on a New York newspaper and as a reader In a publishing house. Suddenly he appeared again with a batch of short stories and poems.
