The Westerner would like to make some corrections concerning the last issue's "Did You Know?" Mr. Daniel Silkowski, English Department chairman, wrote an analysis of Lord Jim, not the book itself, as was inferred.
Mr. Silkowski also wrote in the fall issue of the Kentucky English Bulletin an analysis of Sherwood Anderson's short story, "The Egg." In the Illinois English Bulletin he wrote an article explaining how to use crossword puzzles as teaching devices. In the English Journal Mr. Silkowski analyzed Nelson Algren's short story, "A Bottle of Milk for Mother." He also wrote an article on Lord Jim.
