Excerpt from Spring Hill Quarterly, Vol. 2: December, 1939
For The Quarterly aims to fulfill a need that even the Dean's classes, scholarly and erudite though they be, cannot fill. This need is simply the expression of that urge to write something. The Quarter ly doesn't care what that something is or who the someone who authors it is. For it is the essence of the conception that gave birth to The Quarterly that it afford a medium of public expression for all in the school who desire to write. And by all, we mean all.
What you write about doesn't bother us in the least, so long as it is free of trea sonable, seditious, or palpably immoral propositions. Whether it makes much sense or not does concern us, somewhat, but we are not extremists on the point; after all, look at Lewis Carroll. The only basic requirement, in short, is that it be readable and interesting; which, admit tedly, covers a multitude of requirements, but which may be more easily fulfilled than you think.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a rich analysis of Dauphine Island's place in America's maritime history. From the 17th century, the island played a critical role as a key port servicing the Gulf Coast.
