Creative Years Are Discussed By O U Writer
Dr. Harvey C. Lehman of Ohio University argues in The Scientific Monthly that judging literary productivity by age is misleading. He notes most masterpieces emerged from writers not over 45, with many likely written in their thirties. Age-curves better reveal trends than fixed limits. Lehman, KU graduate, has taught educational psychology at OU since 1927.
