Abstract

The article focuses on a fall 1926 incident involving Miriam Stephenson, a Lawrence College sophomore, who wrote a paper on George Bernard Shaw's 'philosophy and religion.' Shaw's response, a note calling her an "ingenious young liar" and suggesting a career in journalism, is examined. The topics include the incident itself, Shaw's unconventional response, and the implications for Stephenson's future, potentially in journalism.
