Additional Details

The Arts Quarterly was a very ambitious magazine dedicated to music and drama at Dillard University. It was paid for by a gift of $25,000 from the General Education Board to the Departments of Drama and Music. William Stuart Nelson, president of Dillard, says in his Editorial, 'It is only human to grow cynical with repeated failures and the ghosts of Fire, Harlem, Reflexus, Black Opals, and others. . . .and yet we offer The Arts Quarterly.' The Arts Quarterly was definitely patterned on the model of those others, and outlasted them, but not by very much. The last issue was March/June of 1939. Melvin Tolson's 'Harlem' appears in the first issue. Danky 510.
