Mr. Albert H. Loeb (2) Misses Alice E. and Margaret D. Miss Mary Rozet Smith Mr. Benjamin V. Becker Mrs. Ernest MacDonald Bowman Mrs. Emanuel Haldeman-Julius 壓低 Mr. E. P. Ripley Mr. Ernest MacDonald Bowman Mrs. William R. Linn Mrs. Roy McWilliams * Deceased. Mrs. Thomas W. Lamont Mrs. Otto Seiffert Also a few lovers of the art who prefer to remain anonymous. Others besides these guarantors who testify to their appreciation of the magazine by generous gifts are: Mr. Edward L. Ryerson Miss Amy Lowell Mrs. F. C. Letts Two annual prizes and one special prize will be awarded next November for good work of the current year. To the donors of these prizes, as well as to the above list of guarantors, the editor wishes to express the appreciation of the staff and the poets: To Mr. S. O. Levinson, for the Helen Haire Levinson Prize of two hundred dollars, to be awarded for the sixth time; to the anonymous guarantor who will present, for the fifth time, a prize of one hundred dollars; and to Mr. S. King Russell, for his recent offer of a prize of one hundred dollars for poems by a young poet. We feel that these prizes are a most valuable service to the art. The editor deeply regrets to announce the death, during the last half-year, of two of POETRY's earliest and most loyal guarantors. Elizabeth Wallace Waller (Mrs. James B. Waller), who died last May in Chicago, was always ardent in her support of the arts, as in all the other activities and sympathies of a spirit both strong and delicate. Frederick Sargent, who died suddenly in July at his home in Glencoe, Illinois, was one of the foremost electrical engineers of the world, one of the epic builders of our age; yet the exacting duties of his profession did not withhold him from interest in arts less strenuous if not less important. |
