WHAT IS MAN
By Stanwood Cobb '03. Avalon Press. Unpaged. $2.00.
Mr. Cobb has here put into verses a considerable part of the message which he recently stated in the prose of Tomorrow and Tomorrow It is his purpose to stimulate research in the vital problem "as to what the reality of man is," and he is sustained by the conviction that we men are fundamentally the architects of our own future. His poetic technique is earnest and colloquial rather than sophisti- cated, in this at least resembling "A Few Choice Words to the Public, with New and Original Poems" composed by Julia Moore, the Sweet Singer of Michigan—as in the typi- cal quatrain:
It's time that Man's creative spirit strove upon a greater quest, For new discoveries and potent truths of spiritual behest.
