 ENGLISH Potential students of Kenyon Col- lege hear, long before they enter, that practically the only subject taught at the College of ary aca- demic value is English. As under- graduates, on the other hand, they find much of the non-English curri- culum fairly stimulating and even adequately taught, although thoir reverence for the department re- mains always strong . . . Chairman Denny Sutcliffe chose this year to lecture, in British accents, to Har- vard youth, and Charlie Coffin took up again the reins of the depart- ment he headed in pre-Sutfliffe days. Phi! Timbcrlake ana Pappy Ransom ccntinuod in their settled traditions, and newcomer Howie Babb was greeted as a Sutcliffe fac- simile in all respects save stature. Charles M. Coffin Ohio Stale.

KENYON REVIEW The Konyon Review, it has been said, put Kenyon on the map. Old Schoolers are apt to look with disapproval on statements like this, but everyone will surely agree that the magazine has brought the Kenyon name to intellectual circles where it had been un- known before the magazine's advent. Edited by a small staff (Pappy Ransom and Phil Rice), with an even smaller office 3taff (Mary Rahming'. the Review emanates from a tiny basement Ascension office, carrying the power of lucid and critical thought to a company of grateful scholars, many on the Hill itself.
