By focusing on the domestic life that supports and sometimes complicates the pursuit of scholarship, Imbs provides a unique perspective on the power structures inherent in academia.

Edition limited to 500 copies printed on Van Gelder paper (this no. 262), small 8vo, pp. xii, [2], 56, [10]; title page printed in red and black; original blue paper-covered boards, cream paper shelfback; printed title on spine; spine darkened, near fine. With a leaf of typescript poetry signed by Marshall Schacht inserted, and with one of his poems sporting some corrections in pen, likely in his hand. A collection of student poetry meant as "a favorable indication rather than as an evidence of accomplishment." Robert Frost, in his introduction, reinforces this attitude, describing the poetry within as derivative but hopefully indicating potential. He calls out a poem by Richard A Lattimore as having merit. Lattimore would go on to be the most successful of the bunch, in terms of literature, with a career as classicist, poet, and translator of Homer. Marshall W. Schacht contributed three poems to the collection, and produced a single book of poetry, but does not appear to have gone further.
