We have been trained to consume good things, to make them our own. One can see this happening in the literary quarterlies, which have also been drawn into the universities. Like other American magazines they are now mainly attitude-sources. They do for graduate students and young intellectuals what Vogue and Glamour do for working girls and housewives. They instruct them in the in-things and the out-things. They replace art with art-discourse and supply ideas for dress or discussion—ready-made advanced views.
