THE OLIO: VOL. XLVII1 To Alma Mater VVe've toiled with loyal hearts, clear Alma Mater, True sons of thine we've ever sought to be 3 Imperfectly we've wrought, but poorly striven, Be ours the failure, thine the victory. Forgive, if aught of malice, Alma Mater, Has stained these pages that will bear thy name, Forgive, and make us gentler, truer, nobler, More .ht to tend and guard thy spotless fame. God keep thee pure and strong, dear Alma Mater, God let thy light e'er brighter, holier shine, And make our dearly loved, our own sweet Amherst An Amherst fair thro' all the years of time.

AIIIHERST COLLEGE ll Amherst to justify more than a brief comment upon its linish, charm and power. It is literary criticism at its best. Quiet force, penetrating in- sight, competent judgment, and intellectual clairvoyance-these are its solid qualities. The deft phrase, the unlailing rehnement, and the sure touch are there, even when the sentences are packed with thought and learning. For many years Mr. Brownell has acted as the literary adviser of the Scribners, and to him belongs in large measure their deservedly high reputation as the publishers of books of intrinsic worth. He is a member and habitue of the Century Club, where he meets daily the men of in- fluence in the world ol art and literature. One naturally refrains from attempting to draw the portrait of the living man, and I must, as his close friend, limit myself to saying that Mr. Brownell, in dignity, charm, refinement, and brilliant but unboisterous talk is the living embodiment of his books. As one turns from the latest novel to the Essay on Democracy in French Traits , one feels as if he were making the transition from an ephemeral article in the newspaper to an inscription upon the Pyramids.
