The Spike or Victoria College Review 1941

Epilogue

page 53

Epilogue

Spike policy this year is revolutionary in some respects. Emphasis has been laid less on the year-book or statistical role of the Victoria College Review, and more on its role as a review of the development of student thought. Hence the exclusion of purely record material rather than literary, following a necessary restriction on space.

The predominantly factual nature of the prose entries is due to no personal predilections of the Editorial committee, but to the nature of the entries submitted. This is, we think, highly significant of the present-day student's attitude to the world.

In the selection of a cover design we have again been somewhat unconventional. Our cover this year is symbolic of resistance to fascist aggression—a spirit which pervades this whole issue—and appeared therefore to be more appropriate than others perhaps superior from an artistic point of view.

Finally, thanks are due to the Editorial staff who have worked in a way which (if past bouquets have been as sincere as this one) would appear to be a tradition of Spike committees.
