Though he eschews Latin-rooted words, clings to Anglo-Saxonisms almost as tightly as William Morris did, Author Linklater manages to give his bare and lusty chronicle an authentic primitive manner without ever putting the reader to sleep. Though his tale is at times reminiscent of the over-factual Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, it lifts towards the end to a narrative as stripped and swift as a Viking long ship with the oars going all together...
...Greenough '98, professor of English, will give a half-course on English and American thought and expression from 1700 to 1800, to be called English 94.

Magoun's course on old English dialects has been discontinued...

It is issued on the theory that a man is innocent until the state has proved him guilty...
