in this issue. . .

ANNUALLY, as summer ends and fall arrives, another academic year begins, and, for seven years now, THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY issues the first number of a new volume. Here is Number 1 of Volume VIII containing our usual variety and somewhat more. Occasionally recollecting our pedagogical mission, we turn to the field of education; more frequently we find space for an essay or two on history or historians, although subjects from American literature easily lead in any tabulation of our titles. We cannot say, with the late Somerset Maugham, "The mixture as before," nor can we …

PRECEDENTS for a summer literary number are easy to find; our last three July issues come instantly to mind, but the tradition is far older than 1963. Summer used to be a leisurely season, replete with long lazy afternoons, lawns sloping gently down to water, frosted pitchers of lemonade, and books-from Hervey Allen to Stefan Zweig, Dreiser, Faulkner, Fielding, Fitzgerald, Hardy, Hawthorne, Hemingway, Howells, Sterne, Trollope, Turgenev, Zola, and a hundred others. Summer reading was an institution; there was time for it and its deepest enjoyment. The institution was a good one, memorable and permanently …

CHARACTERISTICALLY earthbound, the editors of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY have kept their feet on the ground in the selection of material for publication this spring. Let Armstrong and Scott take their rides in the sky and their walks in space (better luck next time!). Born into this world too early, we leave other worlds, their discovery and exploration, to younger spirits. Here there is enough, were there time. Enough? Too much this spring. For us it is enough to range from enlightened British imperialism on the Gold Coast to the origins of ebullient American imperialism at …

ACKNOWLEDGING the fact of last month's outer-space rendezvous of Gemini 6 and 7 is one thing; realization of its meaning and ultimate significance is quite another. To groundlings in Southeast Kansas, the whole magnificent but virtually incredible achievement is too far out rationally as well as spatially. Moreover, there seems to us to be a more than ample supply of earthbound (even earthy) problems which cry for attention, questions which require fuller discussion, matters more immediate than moon-shots. The contents of this winter issue demonstrate our prior involvement in matters more humane and, to us …
