A ,i 5 ii X E5 It has been found unnecessary to refuse advertisements in order to save space for an account of the literary achievements of Sheff. One thing is to be noted, however, and that is the extra- ordinary improvement of the Shejf Monthly. This improvement is almost entirely due to the combined efforts of Bill Chappell and Jim Coghill. Both have developed a short, but driving, editorial style. The publication has grown in size and circula- tion under their very able management. Sheff Writings, prose and poesy, have an unfortunate tendency to the conventional style, and run dangerously near the movies in construction. But they have an interest to the undergraduate which is not attained in any of our Academic contemporaries. The Sheff Monthly is a practical modern magazine, run on the practical basis of maximum of attractiveness to its subscribers. A place on the Courant board was captured by Nel Graves at the irst of his college career. On the Record our Class was represented by the work of Hagadorn, Smith, Lysle, the man who made Butler famous, and the present writer. Rufe Scott and Mal Thompson have both been managing editors of the N ews, while Graves was able to throw an editor's charm in his charm bin. What would Academic publications do without Sheff men to do the heavy Work? A special mention should be given to the Stone Foundation Prize. This does not consist, as might be expected, of a hod of bricks or crushed rock, but of one hundred genuine dollars. Besides this material incentive, it is the most important prize of thc kind open to Shed men, and is only given for real merit. It was won by Bob NVilliams, of our Class.
