Suggestions

H. B. Thayer '79 recommends:

For Authors Only, by Kenneth Roberts, "very highly commended, interesting, amusing, and thought provoking."

The Road to War, by Walter Millis, "enlightening and very pertinent to present time."

Clifford (Kip) Orr '22 writes: "I've been sticking to biographies mostly, and particularly have liked Benson's Victoria,. Gina Kaus's Catherine, and Zweig's Mary. I found Herrick's (Kip means Hackett's) Francis dull. Of novels, I continue to cheer for Paths of Glory (Cobb), National Velvet (Bagnold), and Tortilla Flat (Steinbeck). Clarence Day's Life with Father seems a must for those who don't read The NewYorker regularly. From last season's crop, I best remember February Hill (Lincoln) and Lost Paradise' (Coffin).

Julius E. Warren '10, who is superintendent of the Newton, Massachusetts, schools, writes a list of books, "the best, new and older of a summer's reading, at least the outstanding and most interesting to me." The list is as follows (the first four he found outstanding): Stefan Zweig's Marie Antoinette, Ludwig Lewisohn's Expression in America, Lincoln Steffens' Autobiography, Dorothy Parker's After Such Pleasures, Henry Wallace's New Frontiers, Caroline Miller's Lamb in HisBosom, Ruth Suckow's The Folks, Clemence Dane's Broom Stages, and Marjorie Bowen's Mary, Queen ofScots.

Ken Meyercord '27 writes that SOS Tothe Rescue, by Karl Baarslag, is: "A swell book! I commend it for all alumni." I liked it, too, and shall review it briefly in this issue.

I hope to publish each month a listof books that various alumni are finding interesting reading. Many of theabove books were reviewed and recommended in these columns last year.
