REMINISCENCES OF A STUDENT'S LIFE. By Jane E. Harrison. (Hogarth Press. 5s.)
EVERYONE at Cambridge and many others, including readers of the Spectator, must be interested to hear of Miss Harrison publishing her reminiscences. This little book, however, must not be expected to give any idea of her life's work.
It is a journalistic exercise of a mind capable of bigger things, making the slightest of pardonably egotistic memoirs. Such an active and receptive character was made for happiness, apart from intellectual powers, and it is as incredible as it is sad that she should end by saying that she has no hope
or desire for personal immortality. Her friends and pupils know better, for how can they believe that the death of a
mere body could annihilate their Jane Harrison ?
