Baxter Reads Chesterton
Noted English Critics’ Poems To Be Heard At Assembly Today
Although Dr. Frank C. Baxter admits that G. K. Chesterton, his subject for this morning’s assembly reading, was considered a radical and trouble-maker by many, he commended the noted English writer, yesterday, saying, “Whether Chesterton’s ideas satisfy and convince us or not. we must forever admire the civilized, lithe, virility of his language.
“His English is swift, sure, and alive; he may at time cause us to rebel at his ideas, but we are never bored or inattentive when he speaks. He loved old things and old serenities. He celebrated wine and old churches and good food and tranquil lanes and quiet places. He and his friends, Hilaire Belloc, were, in a sense, lively survivors of the col-| orful past in our coarse-framed j world.” Baxter concluded, j Included among the witer's best known poems is “The Wild Knight,” He also contributed much in the way of novels, short stories, and essays. From 1905 until 1930 he wrote j an essay each week for the Illus-j trated London Daily News, only | missing two numbers,
Baxter said that he was reading Chesterton today especially for the | benefit of the many students who ' requested the author several weeks ago and then were disappointed when the meeting was postpond. 1 Dr. Gerhardus J. Holwerda, who substituted for Dr. Baxter on the occasion, read from the works of Jerome K. Jerome.
| This morning's assembly will be held in Bovard as usual, beginning promptly at 10 o’clock, according to Banter.
