During the war he was at Great

Chicago, where he was put in
charge one night of a dormitory full
of tough guys. The man he has

pressed by something he had written
for the Sun-Dial. which had nothing
to do with economics. Suspecting
that perhaps there were two James
Thurbers, I cultivated his acquaint-
ance and found that there were at
least two, probably six. This is a
fundamental which all friends and
admirers of Thurber must grasp.
Enemies, of which Clike all great
Ohioans) he has a few, are simply
people who have not met enough
Thursbers. We all know that 1t Is
stupid to love or to hate whole
race of people, like the Eskimos,
after meeting one or two specimens.
The same principle applies to know
ing James Thurbers.
Twenty years ago the atmosphere
in Columbus and the United States
generally was considerably more like
1920 than it is now. Even Thurber
will admit this fact. We heard
lot about Meredith, Henry James.
William James, George Moore and
George Jean Nathan. Joseph Con-
