Book excerpt: Excerpt from The St. Joseph's Collegian, Vol. 25: A Literary Journal of St. Joseph's College, Collegeville, Indiana, October 1936 There is another outstanding feature that seems to be Closely linked with Galsworthy's Character and dramas. It is his apparent lack Of self-interest. His humility, adorned by his presence and made disarming by a handsome physique, did not always save him from the Charge Of coldness when manifested personally. Whereas nearly all men and women give essential particulars Of their lives, not to mention the human touch of their preferred habits, Mr. Galsworthy rather hides himself beneath a blanket.

Of course a malevolent injustice Of this type must be dealt with and so it was. A letter Of reprimand was sent to the critic by Professor Chubb, demanding an undoing Of such criticism, and a duplicate of the letter was for warded to Mr. Galsworthy. In answer he merely expressed his kind thanks and added that he never replied to criticisms regardless Of their nature.
