DURING TIMES of incessant change any practice or custom that maintains itself for as long as six years may fairly claim to be a hallowed tradition. Just such a tradition THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY is building for itself with this sixth Summer Literary Number. Not that we ever wholly close our pages to a good study of literature at other seasons of the year, and not that our literary number involves any really basic difference from the other three quarterly issues. The emphasis, the approach, may vary somewhat, but all four issues are alike concerned with …

WHEN ASKED by the director of one of our growing university presses how the "mystique" of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY was created, the present editor pointed at once to the names listed on the title page, singling out for particular notice that of our former editor-in-chief, Dudley T.

Now we take serious pride in belonging to the Midwest; we celebrate its artists and writers, seek out articles of particular relevance to our broad region, and think of ourselves as speaking in a midwestern accent. But our subscriber reminds us, though inadvertently, that we strive with equal seriousness to live up to the claim embodied in our second title. We are acutely concerned with our own troubled times, nor can we always repress …

During a summer leave or a sabbatical absence of Professor Cornish, it is true, she has sometimes stepped in, has chewed pencils, checked copy, struggled with an engulfing correspondence, written forewords and afterwords, read proof, worried with subscriptions and copyright and the multifarious details involved in any publication, and all the while has rejoiced rather too audibly in the prospect of a speedy release. She still tends to think of herself as …
