Chancellor Gives Library Complete Works Of Millay
A private collection of the works of Edna St. Vincent Millay, given to the University library by Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy last summer, has greatly enhanced the library's holdings in the field of 20th century writers.
The chancellor's collection contains over 50 books and magazines, including many first editions and rare volumes of Miss Millay's published plays and verses, several collections of poetry in which her writings appeared, and books dealing with her life.
"One of the many valuable characteristics of this collection of Edna St. Vincent Millay's writings is its variety and scope." Walter J. Meserve, assistant professor of English, wrote in an article published in the current issue of books and Libraries at the University of Kansas.
The early poetry of Miss Millay is well represented in this collection. It contains two first edition copies of Miss Millay's first book, "Renascence and Other Poems."
In copies of Poetry Magazine, August, 1917 and June, 1918, she is represented by several light lyrics. These are some of her earliest appearances in magazine form and are a part of the complete collection.
The little known "A Book of Vassar Verse" is included in the collection. It includes two of her short lyrics.
Other first editions in the collection include "Ballad of the Harp Weaver," "The Harp Weaver and Other Poems," "The Buck in the Snow," "Fatal Interview," "Wine from These Grapes," and "Huntstman, What Quarry?"

VIVE LE POPCORN!
The other day as I was walking down the street picking up tinfoil (Philip Morris, incidentally, has the best tinfoil, which is not surprising when you consider that they have the best cigarettes, which is not surprising when you consider that they buy the best tobacco and the best paper and put them together with skill and loving care and rush them to your tobacco counter, fresh and firm and loaded with gentle smoking pleasure to lull the palate and beguile the senses and shoo the blues) the other day, I say, as I was walking down the street picking up tinfoil (I have, incidentally, the second largest ball of tinfoil in our family. My brother Eleanor's is bigger—more than four miles in diameter—but, of course, he is taller than I.) the other day, as I was saying, while walking down the street picking up tinfoil, I passed a campus and right beside it, a movie theatre which specialized in showing foreign films. "Hmmmm," I said to myself, "I wonder how come so many theatres which specialize in showing foreign films are located near campuses?"
And the answer came right back to me: "Because foreign films are full of culture, art, and esoterica, and where is culture more rife, art more rampant, and esoterica more endemic than on a campus? Nowhere, that's where!"
We keeps hoping she'll turn back into a Woman...
I hope that all of you have been taking advantage of the foreign film theatre near your campus. Here you will find no simple-minded Hollywood products - full of treachy sentiment and machine-made bravura. Here you will find life itself - life in all its grimmness, its poverty, its naked, raw passion!
Have you, for instance, seen the recent French import, Le Jardin de Ma Tante ("The Kneecap"), a savage and uncompromising story of a man named Claude Parfum, whose consuming ambition is to get a job as a meter reader with the Paris water department? But he is unable, alas, to afford the flashlight one needs for this position. His wife, Don-Bon, sells her hair to a wigmaker and buys him a flashlight. Then, alas, Claude discovers that one also requires a leatherette bow tie. This time his two young daughters, Caramel and Nougat, sell their hair to the wigmaker. So Claude has his leatherette bow-tie, but now, alas, his flashlight battery is burned out and the whole family, alas, is bald.
Or have you seen the latest Italian masterpiece, La Donna E Mobile ("I Ache All Over"), a heart shattering tale of a boy and his dog? Malvolio, a Venetian lad of nine, loves his little dog with every fibre of his being. He has one great dream: to enter the dog in the annual dog show at the Doge's palace. But that, alas, requires an entrance fee, and Malvolio, alas, is penniless. However, he saves and scrimps and steals and finally gets enough together to enter the dog in the show. The dog, alas, comes in twenty-third. Malvolio sells him to a vivisectionist.
Or have you seen the new Japanese triumph, Kibutzi-San ("The Radish"), a pulse-stirring historical romance about Yamoto, a poor farmer, and his daughter Ethel who are accosted by a warlord on their way to market one morning? The warlord cuts Yamoto in half with his samurai sword and runs off with Ethel. When Yamoto recovers, he seeks out Ethel's fiance, Chutzpah, and together they find the warlord and kill him. But, alas, the warlord was also a sorcerer and he has whimsically turned Ethel into a whooping crane. But loyal Chutzpah takes her home where he feeds her fish heads for twenty years and keeps hoping she'll turn back into a woman. She never does. Alas.

The makers of Philip Morris, who bring you this column, hope that if there's smoking in the balcony of your campus theatre, it will be today's new, gentle Philip Morris you'll be smoking.
