Confirming the report that he is at present writing a second novel, R. S. Hillyer '17, associate professor of English, yesterday said that his new work would be much longer than his last book.
Intimating that its contents would be entirely different than his recently published "Riverhead," the author explained that because of its great length, the book would probably not be ready for publication until next year.
