College and Research Libraries By E D N A M A E B R O W N New Periodicals of 1947—Part II Miss Brown is head, serials section, De- scriptive Cataloging Division, Library of Congress. TH E I N T E R E S T I N G feature of the assign-ment to list and evaluate the more im- portant new periodical publications of a given six months' period is the surprise ex- perienced when working out a subject arrangement for the discussion of them. Subjects are never represented in the same manner in any t w o lists. International re- lations was the subject of most importance in the last list. In the present list inter- national research is represented by rhe greatest number of scholarly new journals. International Research Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, an Inter- national Journal of Biochemistry and Bio- physics, is published in N e w Y o r k . It has an international editorial board. Articles are to be in English, French, or German, with summaries in both English and French. Behavior, an International Journal of Com- parative Ethology, is published in Leyden and edited by professors f r o m Switzerland, England, Finland, and the Netherlands. Contributions are requested to be written in a "congress language." Dialectica; In- ternational Review of Philosophy of Knowl- edge is published in Neuchatel and has an international board of consultants. Articles of the first issue were in French and G e r - man, with summaries in French, German, and English. Although Heredity, published in L o n d o n , has the subtitle, "an interna- tional journal of genetics," it does not seem to be of a strictly international char- acter like those listed above. Science M o r e numerous than usual were the new publications in science. T h e Institute of Botany of the Academia Sinica of Shanghai began a quarterly Botanical Bulletin of Academia Sinica which will contain the scientific contributions f r o m the institute. T h e American Academy of Applied Nutri- tion initiated its Journal with the Spring 1947 issue. T h e purpose of this society and its Journal is to promote and advance by educational means the science and art of nutrition, especially as it pertains to the prevention and treatment of disease. F r o m the Australian and N e w Zealand Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science came Australasian Herbarium News. Economic Botany, a quarterly, founded, managed, edited and published by Edmund H . Full- ing, at the N e w Y o r k Botanical Garden, has contributions on such important com- mercial products as tung oil, rubber, chicle, etc. Journal of Glaciology, published by the British Glaciological Society, will " p u b - lish articles on all aspects of snow and ice research from the purely scientific to the essentially practical." Meteorologische Rundschau is published in the U.S. zone of Berlin with the approval of the military government. It will report on meteorologi- cal research in and outside of Germany. Literature and Language Cuadernos de Literatura, Revista Gen- eral de las Letras and its supplement, Acanto, Antologia Literaria, published by the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas in M a d r i d , will publish not only critical studies of literature of all times APRIL, 1948 151 and themes, but in the supplement will re- print in modern orthography old texts as well as modern texts. T h e editor of Scot- tish Periodical hopes that by providing opportunity f o r n e w and good writing there may come a renascence of spirit and letters in Scotland or elsewhere. Journal of Cuneiform Studies, published in N e w Haven, Conn., by the American Schools of Oriental Research, " w i l l w o r k for proper coordination of linguistic technique, textual analysis, and archaeological interpretation" of cuneiform writings. Romance Philology, published in Berkeley and L o s Angeles, with an editorial board representing Bryn M a w r , University of N o r t h Carolina, University of Illinois, and O h i o State University, has contributions in English, French, and Spanish. Book Collecting and Book Selling In January 1947 Imprimatur; a Literary Quarterly for Bibliophiles, n o w published in Cincinnati, appeared in Winston-Salem, N . C . It has articles on books, authors, book plates, wrappers and other subjects of interest to book collectors. Less impres- sive, but of similar purpose and scope is Horn's; the Magazine for Booklovers. W h a t seems to be a new field for a periodi- cal is Book Merchandising. It will publish articles reporting on good, sound, workable book merchandising ideas. Student Publications The Hopkins Review, starting with the Fall 1947 issue, is a literary magazine whose contributors are students and faculty at Johns Hopkins University. W i t h the W i n t e r 1947 issue, the students at George Washington University started a new liter- ary magazine, The Surveyor. In addition to a literary magazine f r o m nearly every university and college, w e n o w have an intercollegiate student magazine. It is Pro- logue which started publication in Bruns- wick, M e . , in December 1947. Little Magazines A l w a y s represented in the list of new periodicals are the "little magazines." D u r i n g the last six months they seemed to have flourished. John Farrar, in an article, " T h i s Galluping A g e , " in the first issue of Touchstone, says w e need "little maga- zines," magazines that are creative rather than critical, which avoid preciosity as de- fiantly as they side-step M a m o n . The Ark, published in San Francisco, claims it is going to be " a magazine with consistent anti-Statist attitudes." Contour, published in Berkeley, is to be an outlet for the un- known writer and artist. F o r the same purpose is Nuances, f r o m N e w Y o r k . Epoch, a Quarterly of Contemporary Lit- erature, published " a t " Cornell University and Perspective, published " f r o m " the U n i - versity of Louisville, have no apparent offi- cial connection with these universities. T h e i r contributors are teachers and writers with only an occasional contribution f r o m a student. The Tiger's Eye on Arts and Letters is to be a "bearer of ideas and art." T h e first issue contained poems, essays, translations f r o m South American poets, and numerous plates. Perhaps Writers' Rejects might be included here. T h i s monthly wishes to assist writers by printing their rejected stories together with criti- cisms to show why they did not sell. A eronautics A new publication specializing in "broad economic-legal-political aspects of sky com- merce" is Aereports, published monthly in N e w Y o r k . A n entire issue is devoted to a single subject. Athletics F o r coaches and directors of athletics and recreation in all branches of amateur 152 COLLEGE AND RESEARCH LIBRARIES sports is Athletic Review. Up-to-date in- formation on methods and techniques will be presented in illustrated articles. Demography Population Studies, a Quarterly Journal of Demography, sponsored by the Popula- tion Investigation Committee at the L o n d o n School of Economics and Political Science, will publish contributions concerned with demographic research and technique. Engineering Operating Engineer, formerly Operating Engineer section of Power, began an inde- pendent existence in October 1947. Sub- jects treated will be those of interest to engineers responsible f o r the operation and maintenance of power services, such as air conditioning, heating and power trans- mission. Nucleonics, published by M c - G r a w - H i l l , will present technical reports on the applications of nuclear physics and new applications of nuclear energy. History T h e American Association for State and Local History started a quarterly in Janu- ary 1947, entitled American Heritage. It aims to arouse interest in the study and technique of teaching local history. Labor Industrial and Labor Relations Review published by the N e w Y o r k State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University, deals generally with the broad subject of labor education. The Australian Newsletter, published in San Anselmo, Calif., presents a picture of present day economic conditions and labor opportuni- ties in Australia. Law Texas Law and Legislation, written and edited by students of the Southern M e t h o - dist University School of L a w , will appear twice a year. Each issue will be devoted to a single general topic. Numismatics Numismatic Literature, will be published under the direct administration of the edi- tor of the American Numismatic Society and the sponsorship of the society's publi- cation committee. T h e first issue included a listing of numismatic books, articles and catalogs which appeared during 1940-45. Philosophy and Psychology Wiener Zeitschrift fur Philosophic, Psychologie, Padagogik appeared in Janu- ary 1947. It will report on the progress of philosophical, psychological and pedagogi- cal studies in Austria and elsewhere. Book reviews will be included. The Journal of Child Psychiatry aims to be an "interna- tional" forum for independent and original contributions. Photography Photography was begun for those persons whose interests extend beyond trivial gadg- ets. Articles on lens coating, trivision, color, action, etc., in the first issue should interest both professionals and amateurs. Religion Interpretation, that is, Biblical interpre- tation, is being published in Richmond, Va., as a successor to Unio?i Seminary Review. Social Sciences Laszlo Radvanyi has begun the publica- tion of another journal in M e x i c o , The Social Sciences in Mexico and News about the Social Sciences in South and Central America. His theory is that the under- standing and solution of economic and so- cial problems contribute to peace. Statistics The American Statistician is an editorial APRIL, 1948 153 medium for the American Statistical Asso- Stock-Market ciation. Its publication was begun in A u - gust as a successor to the association's Bulletin. It includes news and articles on the use and application of statistics. T h e Monthly Market Report, a periodic forecast and review of the stock market, published in Strasburg, Va., by Paul H a t - maker, is designed for the small investor.
