'Wake' Wakes Up After 18 Months To Feature Student Literary Talent

Revived after a year and a half in hibernation, the Harvard Wake will again take its place as a repository of College literary expression in the latter part of April.

Guiding the new Wake out of its inactivity since the spring of 1946 are Say-mour Lawrence '48, John Hawkes, Jr. '47, and John Rogers '49, a trio whose aim is to give local literary talent an international reading public.

The publication will also include, according to its pre-collapse policy, the work of writers of established reputation, thus linking the known with the unknown.

The Wake sprang up in the fall of 1944 taking the place of the then deoment Advocate, featuring student contributions in its early issues but soon expanding to include such prominent writers as E.E. Cummings '15, Convad Aiken '11, Harry Levin '33, and Kenneth Patchen.

In the last publication before its downfall, the editors came out with an entire issue devoted to the work of Cummings, including his plays and poems and several stories on his life. At that time, the Wake had an international outlet to Europe and Latin America.

Several well-known writers, including Alken and Wallace Stevens plus the efforts of less distinguished figures and students will characterize the Spring de-put of the renovated Wake, Later on, an issue will publish French literary talent and on the side, about English novels.
