vey, edited by Professor E. H. Barbour, and the recently established Studies in Language, Literature, and Criticism, edited by Louise Pound, H. B. Alexander, and F. B. Sanford. Finally deserving of mention is The Mid-West Quarterly, established in 1913-14 during the administration of Chancellor Avery, with Professor P. H. Frye as editor. According to its prospectus it was "established by the University of Nebraska the belief that there exists in this country a quantity of excellent writing for which there is no adequate medium of publication. While exact scholarship, the discovery and verification of fact, has received any amount of encouragement and stimulation, the cultivation of general ideas, the free play of intelligence, what Matthew Arnold would broadly call criticism, has met of late years with neglect if not with actual disfavor . . . . it is the hope of enlarging the opportunities of those who are interested in this manifestation of mental activity, irrespective of territorial limitations, which has led to the establishment of The Mid-West Quarterly." The Quarterly has contained contributions from writers and scholars of note, and has received much commendation from savants in many parts of the United States.
