The Literary Critic, a four-page literary supplement of The Dartmouth, made it debut January 18, with R. T. Drake '29 of Wilmette, Ill., as editor, and J. F. Tragle '30 of West Reading, Pa., as business manager. The supplement will be published monthly and distributed to all subscribers to The Dartmouth. Besides book reviews, which take up most of the space, notes on libraries, book-selling and other subjects as pertain to the literary world will be poems, an article on "College Bookselling by One Who's Done It," by Mrs. M. L. Packard, and a few small ads fill up the initial issue of this latest addition to the campus publications.
In his "prologue" the editor says: "Here is the first issue of The Literary Supplement. We present it for the edification of the readers of The Dartmouth. Edification because no serious critical magazine could help but be edifying and amusing because that is about as far as our theory of criticism has progessed in the short time we have been in the profession of publishing a critical magazine."
