"Many delightful bits of writing, contributed by members of the Freshman class, stimulated in their readers a desire for a collection of these promising gems, that they might as a group be studied and enjoyed. "Green Inklings" has been a result of the combined efforts of the Freshman class.

"We, the Freshman, class of 1942, are proud to announce the publication of "Rhapsodies in Green", successor to the "Green Inklings," a similar magazine which was issued in 1936, 1937, and 1938 at Illinois Wesleyan." (Preface)

Spinach is a freshman literary magazine. The Class of 1942 is responsible for the content in this publication.
