A new magazine, unique among college literary journals, will make its debut Saturday when the first number of the new CRIMSON Bookshelf will appear. Formerly published weekly as a department of the CRIMSON, the Bookshelf this year will be a monthly magazine supplement to the CRIMSON.

With the appearance of the Bookshelf in this form, a new policy will be inaugurated. The columns of amateur book reviews by undergraduate writers will be replaced by pungent and timely comments by writers experienced in the field with which the book deals. Members of the faculty, graduates, undergraduates, and men and women not connected with the University at all will be numbered among the contributors to the new review.

Holcombe Writes On Politics

A survey of "The Campaign Books" by Professor A. N. Holcombe '05 of the Department of Government is the principal feature of the October number. Professor Holcombe not only reviews the books relating to the present presidential race, but touches on the books produced by past campaigns, and draws some interesting conclusions from his study.

Professor W. R. Spalding 187, chairman of the Music Department, contributes another feature in his review of "Modern French Music", a volume recently published by his colleague, Assistant Professor E. B. Hill '94. A study of Lieutenant-Colonel Sweeney's "Military Intelligence" by Lieutenant-Colonel William S. Browning, professor of Military Science and Tactics, gives the layman an interesting glimpse into the machinery of the army's secret service.

Two articles of interest to all Harvard men are "Remote Corners of Widener" by W. C. Lane '81, University librarian, and "What Harvard Men Read", by E. F. MacIntyre, proprietor of the Community Book Shop.
