THIS JANUARY 1970 we begin not simply a new year but a new decade--one that we are bound to hope will grow less violent and more certain of purpose as it moves along. Perhaps the editor has seen too many decades, or perhaps it is the world that has seen too many, but we cannot remember a sense of exacerbation or self-distrust or sheer frustration more intense and bitter than the one now prevailing. Birth-pangs of a better world, shall we hope? Why in times like these men of good will can be brought to …

WRAPPING UP a decade of academic publication is no difficult chore, especially since generous, gracious, and for the most part patient contributors have been prodigal in showering us with material-articles, poems, and reviews-for the past six or seven years. And our esteemed colleague, absent on sabbatical leave this past semester, had thoughtfully selected practically the whole of this Summer Literary Number prior to her departure for far-flung and deep-delving research on her Emily Dickinson. The result is a solid collection of entertaining, incisive, and insightful reading. The subjects of our six articles range from Herman …

FLEXIBILITY and informality of administration, operation, and organization have been among the hallmarks of this journal since its inception ten years ago; to them, add interchangeability of parts. When the Editor in Chief had a semester's leave in 1964, REBECCA PATTERSON moved easily into his chair to keep contributors happy= printers contented, and subscribers satisfied. Now the shoe is on the other foot: She is on sabbatical after a gruelling fall's work, and he is spread thinner than ever, from the Department of History in Russ Hall to the editorial suite in Porter Library. Fortunately …

TAKING UP our pen on the afternoon of election day, we are more than commonly aware of the suspense, the troubled uncertainty, on the threshold of what we feel in our marrow will prove to be a new age. Of course we could wait until tomorrow and put one minor suspense behind us, that is, the identity of our new president; but, partisan as we were in casting our ballot, and stoutly as we cheered one man in preference to another, we are nevertheless of the opinion that the new president will have little more …
