Tea Dai Book Review '48 In '48'] Are Just Se "Here is a well-written com pendium of poems that offer in spiration and information." "In each one, Dr. Hamilton has at tempted to catch the mood of that state and cleverly tucked in some line of local color, epochal inci dent, vivid depiction of land scape, flower, personal sentiment, character and current topic and imbued them with homely philos ophy." "These state poems are sure to be quoted far and wide ..." The preceding statements were printed on the leaflet of Charles G. Hamilton's recent book of poems entitled-48 in '48. The book includes a poem for each of the 48 United States. These poems are mostly written in blank verse, describing the tone and color of American history and legend. Dr. Hamilton has attempted to write a set of lines--we cannot call them poems for they are not about the history of each state. With his limited knowvledge of them, he has only concocted a mess wvhich is not informative and certainly not inspirational! One could read a history textbook and be more informed andl more in Fash ions For Men The new tri-colored stripes ap pearing in dress shirts are making in-roads into the realm of fashion in men's clothes. The trn-colored striped tie in with the Ivy League fashions now aking an appearance in the 'uthern and eastern colleges. The shirts are cut to the' tapered look that is a must in the new school of fashion and the narrow pin stripes lend to that trim, slim appearance. The stripes come in nearly all colors, and the shirts are made in nearly all collar styles. They are also available in French or plain cuffs. The cool weather has brought ~I9ut many styles of sweaters, but by far the most popular style appearing this year is the wool crew-neck, in the varying shades of grey. The crew-neck is avail able in other colors, but the grey shades seem to be closest to the tastes of the pundits who dictate masculine apparel. Topcoats, too, have made their appearance with the cold weather, and while various styles andl eolors arc seen, here too, certain styles stand hea(i andl shoulders above the many others that are making their appearance. The two most popular fashions so far this fall are the blue-gray military-cut topcoat that was so popular on campus last year, and the ragland box-style topcoat in varying shades of grey and light brown with light overplaid stripes or rice Set Poems t Of Lines spired than by reading Dr. Hamil ton's book. Moreover, the local color, vivid depiction of landscape, etc., are so set in the blank verse that only the most learned could possibly understand the theme of the lines. The legend is trite and hackneyed. As for quotations being taken from the book, they undoubtedly will be, but not necessarily by the natives of the quoted states. For example: "Be sure your sin will find you out the Mexican war the wages of sin is California," "and Colorado comes into its name and human flesh again is lightly priced and rifle bullets pierce the heart of Christ," and "No peace I find with Georgia on my mind." We are not able to agree with Dr. Hamilton's publishers about their statement, and we -quote, "His excellent writing has always stirred favorable comment, and wve know his 48 in '48 wvill be wel comedl and recognized as a book of lasting value which wvill be treasured by every lover of poetry; and place Dr. Hamilton high on the list of American writers and poets." As a whole, the book is a poor piece of literature and wvill find harsh criticism from all p)arts of the United States. - Barbara HIawthorne Ivy Leaguers Think They Are Superior Men who go to Ivy League colleges are "naturally superior" to their less fortunate associates in other schools, according to Henry Morton Robinson (Colum bia '23) in the November issue of Holiday Magazine. In one of three articles devoted to the Ivy League schools (Har vard, Yale, Penn., Princeton, Co lumbia, Dartmouth, Brown and Cornell), Robinson asserts that the "educational rabbit-warrens knowvn as state universities" and the liberal-arts colleges not in the Ivy League would "democrati,ze" the B.A. Degree by bringing it dowvn to the level of a vaccination certificate. "Ivy colleges cling to the somewhat mystical notion," he continues, "that a candidate for the 800-year-old dlegree of Bac ealaureus in Artibus shall be, among other things, a person of marked intellectual promise." Robinson states emphatically that he exp)ects to receive some mean letters as a result of the article from "the loyal sons of Turpentine Tech and Moline Sub normal." He even p)rints, in adl vance, an excerpt from these let ters, as follows: " 'Your article was mighty saddlening to one like me who missedl schooling in the Ivy League. I almost cried out loud while driving my Cadillac to the bank'* " For Toi * * * SPONSORS .,. .
