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 klorknck McLaughlin Salem, Illinois Sterling College. Kama . 1. 2. 3: Mixed Choru . Glee Club. Qujirtett.

Miss Angevine In the fall of 1920, all new and former students of Cedarville College had their attentions fixed on the opening of the new year. 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. Miss Angevine amused Fogr. Seventeen

We are passing through a modern era of harmonious music. There are two distinct factors contributing to its establishment: first, the Church's need for intelligible chorus and choir music; and second, the rise of the opera, which contains much solo work, not complete without harmonic accom- paniment. M u s i c has advanved through the years from the monoton- ous chant of the ancient Greeks, through the raspy two-stringed music- bcx, the soft tinkle of the harpsichord, the dreamy lull of the harp, to the glowing splendors of our symphonic orchestras, and our wonderful three and four-manual organs, found in our large cities of today. Imagine, if you will, a week, el- even a day, without music of any kind. No chapel songs, nothing but speeches and advertising over the radio, no tunes to hum as you go here and there with your work. You would find it a mighty monotonous world. Because of this seemingly magic power and charm of music, which manifests itself in the human consciousness, it becomes one of the greatest sustaining forces in mortal existence. Its ameliora- tion of those oppressing influences in our environment, which would otherwise become unendurable, places it high in the scale of aes- thetic value, and gives it its indispensible position in the full, well- rounded life. —Eleanor Bull.

Literature Literature in its various forms portrays the results of race peculiarities, or of diverse individual temperaments when put into story and verse form. Since man feels before he reasons, poetry generally precedes prose. Hence sacred books and war songs are everywhere the earliest literary monuments, and both are essen- tially poteic compositions which have received religious sanction. All literature, generally speaking, is imitative. To illus- trate this, we know of no earlier beginnings of literary art than in Greece in the days of Plato. From this time on, literature has sur- vived war, pestilence, and even the “dark ages” when it was thought that all in the literary field was doomed, and we have imitated the writings of Greece, Rome, France, Spain, and finally of the great playwright, William Shakespeare. Unfortunately for literature, the rhetorical expression of feel- ing is rarely on a level with its emotional intensity. This accounts for the inferiority of national hymns, which, as a rule, are not of VIOLA HAKHAUG1I Tippecanoe City. Ohio Student body Officer t: Cln». OUlcer 3. 4: Y. W. C.

Little did she realize that by the time another Sep- tember had rolled around she would have been advanced to the coveted position of Dean of Women at Cedarville College. She has continued as most efficient Dean of Women for the past four years, although that is not the only new job she has taken on— in fact, she has some- thing new every year. She now teaches French, Spanish, English, and Latin, and seemingly thrives on variety for she renders her services efficiently and cheerful- ly. We know of no one who is more willing to help the person who really wants help. Anyone who wins her friendship feels proud of the fact. Mrs. Work Mrs. Margaret J. Work, our diligent and efficient Director of Music, has had excellent training and experience for the position. After graduating from high school with first honors in a class of ninety-three pupils at Washington, Pa., she attended Mommouth Col- lege, where, in her junior year, she received a music diploma, and later graduated with two degrees—Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Music. There she was elected to “Sigma Omicron Mu,” a national honorary sorority. I’agr Eight e n
