LUCIUS BEEBE WILL EDIT THE CRIMSON BOOKSHELF

Lucius M. Beebe Sp., author of "Fallen Stars" and "Corydon", will edit the CRIMSON Bookshelf for the remainder of the year, C. P. Morehouse '25 having resigned as editor on account of the pressure of divisional examinations. The first issue under his direction will appear on March 28.

Beebe is one of the most prominent undergraduate authors in the country. Although only 21 years of age he has already had the above two books of verse published and at present has another work on the press, which will appear in the spring. This is a translation and short biography of "Francois Villon".

The London Times in speaking of his work says: "His style with its hard lines and conscious economy is curiously opposite to his content and is a blend of classicism and romanticism. If he can deepen his romanticism his artistry gives promise of very real achievement."

He transferred to the University this fall, after two years at Yale, where he distinguished himself in literary affairs. He was fence orator of his class and was a Cup man on the Yale Record. In addition he was a frequent contributor to the Yale Literary Magazine, and various other publications.

Under Beebe's supervision it is announced that the Bookshelf will broaden out both physically and intellectually. For the forthcoming March number there is an unusual number of distinguished contributions. Among these are a review of Amy Lowell's "Keats" by D. W. McCord '21, a review of Santayana's "Lucifer" by Robert Hillyer '22, and a review of Upton Sinclair's "Mammonart" by Beebe.
