THE CAROLINIAN This last issue of our college magazine .opens with a poem, "Solitude," in which is clearly brought to expression the poet's longing for the untrodden ways, far from the madding crowd, there to draw new inspiration for greater achievements. "The White Wilderness," a story, tells how a young man on a vacation trip in the far north ern wilds finds a family with whom he lodges for some time.. The daughter of the house who first guided him to their hut, awakens his love. She is quick to see his growing interest, and 3 in order to test its depth, runs 3 off-ah, these women!-to see if he would follow her. Instead of taking his cue, however, the lover goes out with the father in search of her- - ah, these men! and not finding her decides she must have been drowned in a swollen stream. He returns to the city, and tries to forget the dream of the north. But it haunts him still, and impels him after three years to return to the wilderness of the north. There, at the selfsame bend in the river he again sees the image that has so long haunted his dreams. All is soon explained and every one made happy. What one can do in five short pages to make this plot convin cing, the- writer has done. With a little more space he might have told us why the hero did n,t write a note to his former host, after his return to the city: or why the heroine did not drop him a souvenir post card, as a Christmas greeting, for exam ple. One thing, however, would be hard to explain-why did the heroine not drop a hint where she was going, if she wanted to be followed? The daughters of Eve are not so simple minded after all. The allegory entitled "The Blessing of Pain" is an apology for hardships and trials in life which the writer calls on us to bear with the heroism of Brown ing's "Rabbi Ben Ezra." The al legory is, however, not sufficiently explained, doubtless on account of its brevity. What of the builders of the barrriers-were they also driven to their work by the master's lash? "The Song of a Gondolier" is a dlescription of the change o'f feeling in the lover, upon the coolness of his mistress. We are left to guess the reason of her faithlessness, as no rival is men tioned. "An Optimistic Aspect" re views the war situation, and without defending war itself, shows that good may come of the struggle. The essay ends by voicing- that fond hope of so ANNUAL TO APPEAR SOMETIME IN MAY Garnet and Black will be Splen did Book. The Garnet and Black for this year will be an excellent edition if the students will give in more subscriptions. Every student should stand by the annual and take at least one copy. A large number of men on the campus have not yet subscribed. Every one who wishes a copy should see Dabbs, Purdy, or Dudly as soon as possible. The Seniors must also cooper ate with the managers in get ting their pictures for the annual. The bust pictures will be taken at Hennies' studio and the characteristic poses will be taken by Mr. Cohen. The copy will soon go to press and those who have not had their pictures made at that time will be left out. The annual is in the hands of good men who are working hard and they expect to get the copies completed by the middle of May. Many pictures and drawings have been received which will add much to its value. The work will be good and every man will want a copy when he sees it. many of us, that the present situation may be the beginning of new things. "Summer Morn" is a picture with real atmosphere to it. The last eight lines should be omitted. They are out of har mony with the preceding. While reading "The Missing Link," an interesting detec tive story, the present reviewer was wondering with every page what would turn out to be the motive for the gruesome lacera tion of the body of the murdered young lady. We have only this objection to make, that the writer left us on the last page as mystified as he had caused us to be at the first. The "Maiden of the Hills" describes a budding beauty of the mountains, who is satisfied with her lot in life, and who har bors in her life no hankering after the vain delights of the city. Surely an exceptional character, and one worthy to be sung. The poem contains a rime(?) of ''lich en" with "enrichen." But who can keep in touch with all the perversity of English spelling and pronunciation? We English speaking people spend the first twenty years of our lives learning to spell our language, and the next forty trying to pronounce it.
