Miller Mrs. Frederic Clay Bartlett Mr. Benjamin V. Becker Miss Dorothy North Mrs. F. Louis Slade Mrs. Andrea Hofer Proudfoot Mrs. George W. Mixter Mrs. Thomas W. Lamont Mrs. Richard T. Crane Mr. A. D. Lundy Mrs. Robert N. Montgomery Miss Joanna Fortune Mrs. Rockefeller McCormick Mrs. Francis Neilson Others besides these guarantors who testify to their appreciation of the magazine by generous gifts are: Mr. Edward L. Ryerson, Miss Amy Lowell, Mrs. Edgar Speyer and Mr. Edward C. Wentworth. Three annual prizes will be awarded as usual in November for good work of the year now ending. 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 ninth time; to the anonymous guarantor who will present, for the eighth time, a prize of one hundred dollars; and to the Friday Club of Chicago, which has donated one hundred dollars for a prize to a young poet. We feel that these prizes are a most valuable service to the art. The editor records with deep regret the death, on May twenty-ninth, of Mr. William T. Abbott. In spite of his arduous more important duties, Mr. Abbott has most graciously served as a member of POETRY'S Administrative Committee ever since the magazine was founded; and the high authority of his name has been, to our guarantors and the public, an assurance of financial soundness. This service will always be remembered with gratitude by the staff of the magazine. The death, on February sixteenth, of Mr. John S. Miller, the distinguished Chicago lawyer, removed from our immediate presence one of the most loyal friends of the magazine, who had been one of its guarantors from the beginning. The editor remembers vividly and gratefully a witty and discriminating speech which Mr. Miller made at a POETRY banquet, showing the depth of his appreciation of the "new movement," and of the magazine's aims and ideals.
