AUTOBIOGRAPHY WITH
LETTERS
By Bernice Finnegan
BY william Phelps

Indisputably the most popular
teacher Yale has ever had, for near
ly four decades William Lyon
Phelps has been Americas most
popular lecturer on literature, let
ter-writer, literary critic, authority
on Browning, conversationalist and
traveller. He has crowded many
lives into one. In fact, one of his
friends suggested that this book
might well be called The lives OF
William Lyon Phelps
Phelps autobiography gives the
full flavor of his own extraordinary
personality. Unaffected, full of an
ecodote, trenchment observation
humor, memories of men and man
ners, it contains the same quality
of enthusiasm and infectiousness
that delights his audiences. Inter
woven with his own story are por.
traits of famous writers who have
been his intimate friends-men like
Joseph Conrad, John Galsworthy
Hugh Walpole, Maeterlinch, G. X
Chesterton, Thomas Hardy, and
many other Titans of Literature

Let's Keep Our Feet on the Ground

Europe is in turmoil and in the throes of another
devastating war; and its leading nations are sending
their young forth to be slaughtered for national
wealth and power. These trying times, and there
will be trying times in the future, as those who
remember incidents in connection with the world war
from 1914 through into 1918 know.
This is no time for hysteria in the United
States and loud shouting individuals will not settle
the difficulties along the streets of America-it is
beyond that stage. This is the time for Americans
to face the situation calmly and every effort
offered by Democratic government to avoid
other episode of 1917.
President Roosevelt gives assurance to the peo-
pie of nation that he will do all in his power
to keep the United States from becoming embroiled
in another world conflict In that effort he should
have the cooperation of every true American.
There is gain for the common man in con-
fct and those who advocate with a view of large
profits gain through the ill-fortunes of the COM
mon man. Such men have no thought for the sons of
gold and then give the heartbroken mother gold
star for her sacrifice.
Propaganda from all sides will be sent into the
United States, through newspapers and over radios
in effort to enlist the sympathies of people to
their cause and it is up to all to careful judg-
ment Trying times ahead, and under right
leadership and honest effort be permitted to
continue to live in peace Thus can the lives
of American boys
Let us hope and pray and common sense 20
that the sons of those pioneers who came to the
a wish to escape European hatreds and militarism,
are not made the victims of that terrible scourge
again.
The United States must KEEP OUT OF WAR,
or we break faith with those who died in vain in a
war to end all wars!"
