Madison Munro - 2020 January 28
This morning I was able to scan three books from the Jason box #5. Jason 1970, 1969, and 1968. Form what I have been able to gather, The Jason served at the student poetry and art work book published among Willamette students. There was a bit of a hold up on where to store these files. For now they are in the drobo file under "Temp". I was most intrigued by the 1968 publication which had a hard cover and tall rectangular bright yellow pages containing mostly poetry and a few illustrated pages. I got lost reading this publication. The first page describes the book as "Willamette's poetry-art magazine has been re-titled this year -- no longer The Jason (worthy as that symbol may be), but Jason's (Lee) Phantasty." This confirmed my suspicions that these were named after Jason Lee for who Lee house is named after. The title page continues robustly, "We are young; we are at Willamette university; we have out futuristic phantasies. forgive us if we satirize the now successful phantasy that Jason Lee had one hundred twenty six years ago." The boom of an introduction inspires me to further investigate Jason Lee who I know little about.
