Letter to the Editor
Clement A. Smith
The Editor cannot refrain from an additional note regarding Dr. Wallace's generosity and ability as critic, reviewer, and writer. Somehow he found the time to pick his way through many of the most confusing manuscripts received by this office, to crystallize out the actual contribution made, and to tell the authors what they had actually done-and what they had not done-in two or three neatly typed sheets of wonderfully expressed criticism. His humor-often tart but never bitter-made the whole review all the more delightful and must often have supplied palatability for those writers whose creations turned out to be less than significant. Indeed, his comments were largely responsible for a previously stated wish that "the reviews could be printed as well as most papers-and in place of many."
