PETIT JEAN The London Literary Club Beside the ruddy rampnrts of a modern hearth the London Literary Club of I-l ard ing College had its birth. Thi s sacred precinct was ever a place for dissertation upon weighty matteI's concerning Engli sh 251-252. The chum of t hi s class,E . C. Blackshear, in the person of Dr. Samuel John son, suggested the idea of wearing a name worthy of its being. 1"01' his able cohort, Ray Hazlet was named for J. Boswell. Ray's essays and themes mer ited this. The speaker of the var ious evenings at the reception room was Munell Todd, able representative of Edmund Burke. The lofty brow and deep, dark-blue eyes of David Garrick were passed as an inheritance to one Willi s Rhodes. Of the influence that ha s been wielded by t h is moder n or gan ization enough cannot be sai d, Bci ng a very select crowd, the club fe lt that one to ente l' must qua lify himself a long literHry lines. Only four can be in th is club at one time. c ? 90
