LOOKING FORWARD as we began Volume V a year ago, we predicted "a number of articles on aspects of American politics, American foreign policy, and American internal problems" in our issues for 1964. Our record demonstrates the accuracy of our prediction. So for that matter do the contents of this issue. From Edmund Wilson to Emily Dickinson, from Thomas Hart Benton (the Missouri Senator, not the Missouri artist) to Alf Landon, from the agrarian myth to the relatively new discipline of musicology, we present another diverse combination of discussions for your fall fare. CERTAINLY no …

FOLLOWING the pattern of a year ago, this is our summer literary issue. Whether we can set it down as a hard and fast rule that every future summer issue will be literary, it is impossible to say at this writing. Our five years of publishing experience indicate that we can expect to continue to receive an abundance of manuscripts treating literary subjects--probably at a ratio of three to two over all other subjects. This makes it relatively easy if not down right good sense to devote at least one issue a year to literature. …

INITIALLY we had ambitious, even extravagant, plans for this spring number, plans involving a variety of essays from key members of the United States Senate and the House of Representatives as well as a carefully selected covey of candidates for the Republican presidential nomination. Quite obviously, the Congress has been busy of late, although its business is not always as fruitful as many would hope. And that New Hampshire primary on March 10 rather alters calculations regarding the GOP standard-bearer for 1964. In mid-February one of the (then) leading (?) candidates in that primary wrote …

A JOURNAL of contemporary thought cannot and ought not become a journal of current events; editorial and production problems alone prevent this. There are occasions, however, when events are of such transcendent importance and impact that they require immediate attention--even by academics who tend to prefer a measure of detachment if only for the development or emergence of perspective. One such event was the "Jobs and Freedom" march in Washington, D. C., last August 28. Thanks primarily to television coverage, it had a tremendous and immediate impact on all Americans who cared to look and …

BEGINNING our fifth year of publication with this issue, we continue our policy of variety in the subject matter of the articles here presented, from musicology to historiography, from Formosa to the United Kingdom, from Jacob Burckhardt to Robert Frost. We count ourselves fortunate in having discovered discussions suitable for inclusion in a journal of contemporary thought and in receiving unsolicited contributions which quickly won editorial acceptance. As in our first four years, we start this new volume confident in the role and objectives of our journal and reassured by continued growth in the number …

BY MIDWINTER it had become obvious to the editors that it would be possible to devote our summer issue to American Literature exclusively. Before the winds of March had blown in April's rain, the editors had decided to produce a special summer literary number; this was made possible by our possession of a good supply of interesting, important, and varied analyses of several aspects of American artistic and literary life. This issue, therefore, begins with an incisive essay on the generally unhappy position of the writer in American culture, and succeeding articles treat not only …

OBVIOUSLY, controversy is characteristic of most discussions of questions of contemporary importance. While the editors of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY deliberately selected controversial articles for inclusion in our last (January) issue, it was not our aim or objective to make this issue controversial to the same degree. Examination of our table of contents, however, and closer examination of the six discussions therein, will undoubtedly disclose and generate as much controversy as our last issue. It may be that questions arising from Dr. Samuel Johnson's visit to Scotland (just before the American Revolution broke out) will not …

CONTROVERSY is the ingredient common to all six articles appearing on the following pages. Subject matter ranges widely from the nature of life to the nature of revolution, from contemporary drama to one of the most ancient faiths known to man, from arms control to James Joyce. Another characteristic common to these half dozen essays is their ability to stimulate rather strong reader reactions: in every case, the editors of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY were anything but ambivalent in their comments. Since this is or purports to be a journal of contemporary thought, it seems entirely …

DURING the absence of our hardworking editor-in-chief this past summer the responsibility of seeing the October issue through the press has devolved upon the advisory editor in literature with the helpful assistance of the editorial board. Lest the substitute appear to be claiming too much, she would like to point out that Professor Cornish left his desk in excellent condition, with a supply of articles and poems already chosen, and it was his idea that there would be a certain appropriateness in publishing a special literary number under the temporary guidance of the literary editor. …

READER reaction is always unpredictable. Some praised the strong concentration on contemporary continental, hemispheric, and world problems in our April issue; others expressed the hope that R. D. Lakin's essay, ''Philosophy and the Missing Purpose," indicated a new editorial direction; still others criticized the limitation of literary criticism to a single article, Richard Rupp's succinct analysis of Hart Crane's masterful treatment of Brooklyn Bridge in his "Atlantis." In the face of wide and uncorrelated demand, the editors have concluded to present a summer issue defying easy categorization. To round our Volume III we present a …

WHILE critical comments on our January issue were uniformly favorable and even flattering, the editors were conscious of a sort of unspoken criticism of its rather narrow concentration of subject matter. Certainly Sherwood Anderson, Winston Churchill, William Dean Howells, and William Allen White are all significant figures in American life and letters, but a journal of contemporary thought ought to have more than one article per issue treating current problems. A quick glance at the table of contents of this issue will indicate that THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY is not about to lose its franchise. The …

THE GRATIFYING RECEPTION our more discerning readers gave the first two articles in our October number ( "Alternative to Futility" and "The Case of Harold Rugg") encouraged the editors to select another discussion of the problems of higher education in America for inclusion in this issue. An increasingly broad variety of manuscripts coming our way has made possible the selection of four other articles within the general area of twentieth century American life and letters, with particular emphasis on letters. From the tidal wave of verse contributions which threatened for a time to inundate us …

AS THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY begins its third year of publication, the editors present an issue containing articles on our customarily wide variety of subjects. In this issue, however, we present our first discussions of American education. In view of the fact that this journal is the successor to The Educational Leader published by this college for over twenty years, it may seem a little strange that it has taken us so long to arrive at this point. The explanation is an easy one: we have made it a rule to use only the best of …

WITH this number, THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY rounds out its second volume and thus completes two years of publication.

From its inception, it has been our aim to offer a broad selection of articles on various subjects of contemporary significance. Throughout our …

THIS is the political spring of a political year. The "first hundred days" of the Kennedy Administration are about to become history, and there are other activities on the American and the midwestern scenes which are essentially political in nature and/ or origin. The Centennial of Kansas statehood has officially begun, and the Centennial of the American Civil War likewise. More importantly, rank-and-file Americans seem to be taking more interest in political activities and problems than is their usual wont, although this may be only a seasonal thing, what with state legislatures in session as …

THIS is a historic month, and the editors of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY have perforce taken this fact into account in selecting the material appearing in this issue. The presidential elections are behind us, and a new national administration will be inaugurated on the twentieth of this month. On the twenty-ninth, Kansans will observe the centennial of statehood and inaugurate a year of celebrations of all sorts for this important midwest milestone. In a sense, this month of January, 1961, is a meeting point for the Old Frontier of the Kansas past and the New Frontiers …

Subscription renewals have been coming in all summer, and even more important, unsolicited manuscripts from all over have been arriving with increasing frequency.

This first issue of Volume II contains articles on a variety of subjects of rather strong current interest. The editors have taken into account several incontestable facts in selecting these discussions for publication. This issue appears a short month before the American presidential election. This month marks the 125th anniversary of …

Like the April issue, this fourth number moves our horizons further out by broadening the scope of material published. Once more the editors are able to offer a fairly wide variety of intellectual fare for our discerning readers. While the April issue saw us embark for the first time on the wine-dark sea of verse, this issue carries us further with contributions from two poets who write in the modem mood. And, manuscripts already in hand indicate, …

THIS NUMBER of THE MIDWEST QUARTERLY moves our horizons out beyond any previous measure. While our first two issues have contained solid material on a variety of subjects from a diversity of minds, the basic criticism of them has been that the Social Science area was somewhat overrepresented. Even a casual check of our contents will bear out this charge. Therefore, it is with considerable satisfaction and even relief that the editors offer this issue-with only one contribution from the Social Sciences. The scope of subject matter is broader in this issue than it has …
