The Sewanee Review staff is busy reading the final proof of the last issue of the 119th volume-which means 119 years-of the Sewanee Review. This fall number is devoted completely to the literature of war-Trojan Wars, Spanish civil war, Irish civil war, World Wars, the Middle East, and even the class wars of today-and is George Core's 9th issue on the subject. On Tuesday night (8 p.m.) October 25 we will have an Open House at the McGriff Alumni House to celebrate both the end of this volume and the SR's unique significance in the life of American letters and the life of this university.
