joseph morgenstern time marches backward in the english department the clock on the office wall a perfectly modern and respectable electric clock works like this the hour and minute hands followers that they are keep per fect time but the red second hand floats gracefully down the left side of the face to 6 climbs steadily up from 6 to about 11 then slides slow ly back to 6 it's an amazing thing to see perhaps this second hand is a little hesitant about whirling boldly into the future or per haps it suffers from a slipping gear at its pivot whatever the reason though the english de partment clock seems to care less about time than any other clock we know take the clocks in fritz or pack ard labs while they spin relentless shea will speak here thursday frank r shea editor and foreign

clockwise witnessing new theor ems replacing old immense testing machines growing before their faces time and motion studies the english department's clock moves more slowly it leaves behind fewer obso lete models leaves them less soiled and hollow progress may not be its credo but its pace has great dignity while the english department like any other group of alert sensible people admires our age's breathless technical progress it also holds firm ly those ageless values and beauties upon which any arts school is built its rather leisurely pace gives it time to cast history's light on our own problems to have fun digesting life's wonderful complexities its treasures are old ones far older even that the departmental furni ture yet still vitally pertinent and enjoyable we mention this as
