The Wisconsin Literary Magazine was a forum for UW-Madison students to publish writings. It provided a chance to become active in the editing and publishing of a student-run literary journal. Mildred Fish made contributions to the magazine both as a writer and an Assistant editor. The documents diplayed here represent Mildred's work, published in volume 22 and 23 of The Wisconsin Literary Magazine.

This short story, titled "Gold and Silver", was published in the February 1923 issue of The Wisconsin Literary Magazine.

In this volume (June 1923, volume 22), Mildred Fish is both assistant editor and contributor to the magazine. The editor's commentary lambasts the loss or sellout of college literary magazines and ends with a curious list of "literary Who's Who", which includes Mildred as "The arch laughter of a Y.W. secretary at a Blackhand sorree".

In the October 1923 issue, Mildred wrote and submitted short stories and poems as well as participating, once again, as an assisstant editor. The photo was taken during this same period.
