HILLYER ENGAGED IN WORK ON SECOND, LONGER NOVEL

Confirming the report that he is at present writing a second novel, R. S. Hillyer '17, associate professor of English, yesterday said that his new work would be much longer than his last book.

Intimating that its contents would be entirely different than his recently published "Riverhead," the author explained that because of its great length, the book would probably not be ready for publication until next year.

The novel is as yet untitled, but it is known that it will be a portrait of a family. This new theme will call for the creation of many and varied characters.

Hillyer turned from poetry to novel writing last year, and the success of his first book has encouraged him to continue as a novelist. Critics acclaimed "Riverhead" one of the finest novels of the year.
