Thanks

Sir,—Owing to the uncertainty of publication, this year's Salient Literary Issue was a rush Job, commenced with little warning. Editorial thanks go then to contributors who completed articles several weeks before an early deadline, and then were ready to make revisions, and still enable two-thirds of the copy to be in the printer's hands on deadline night. Also thanks to the twenty writers who sent in sixty poems and nine short stones from which to make a selection. The position of Victoria in this respect is healthier than at other Universities, such as Birmingham, with 10,000 students.

My personal thanks goes to Peter Dronke and Louis Johnson, who watched over the literary indiscretions of a new editor, and to Mr. Harry Lord of the Standard Press, who with infinite patience instructed a layman in the fundamentals of printing production.

John Cody.
