T.S. Eliot s Verse To Be Read
Baxter Will Interpret 'Intellectual' Poet At Assembly Tomorrow
Although he admits that T. S. Eliot represents the intellectual in poetry, and that therefore he seems to the reader to be obscure and difficult. Dr. Frank Baxter, English professor, believes that much of the poet’s work is clear and that all of it repays careful study. Dr. Baxter will discuss Eliot's verse and read 1 selections from his works tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in Bovard : auditorium.
“T. S. Eliot represents the intellectual in poetry; he writes with his head and not his heart,” says Dr. Baxter. “A cool intellect fabricates his verses—and he makes them out j of ideas, memories, and echoes summoned up from all that he has ever 1 read, seen, or heard. His learning is I vast and esoteric, and he does not j hesitate to use it all in his verses. |
VERSE IS CLEAR
“The result is. of course, that to the reader he seems terribly obscure and difficult. But some of his verse is crystal clear—and all of it repays careful study.
“Like Aldous Huxley, T. S. Eliot gradually turned from a bitter mockery at the waste and futility of contemporary life to seek a spiritual affirmation. Huxley is still searching mystically, but T. S. Eliot has flung himself upon the rock of ancient religion—a rock that seems to him solid and eternal.”
INFLUENTIAL CRITIC
Eliot was born at St. Louis. Missouri, in 1888 and studied at Harvard. the Sorbomr^. and Oxford. He is now editor of the Criterion. English critical magazine, and has much influence as a literary critic in England, where he has lived since 1914.
His more important works include “Prufrock,” “Poems. 1920,” “The Waste Lend.” “Poems; 1909-1925,” ‘An Essay of Poetic Drama,” and “Ash Wednesday.”
Government City Falls lo Franco As Civilians Flee
HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Frontier, March 28—-(U.R)—'The fortified city of Lerida. base of Spanish Loyalist resistance in Catalonia, fell to the Insurgent war machine tonight without the firing of a shot Insurgent radio stations announced.
The 2300-year-old city, at the gateway to -the last stronghold of the Loyalist government, surrendered to Generalissimo Francisco Franco’s motorized armies after evacuation of its 40,000 civilians, and the headquarters staff of the government commander-in-chief, Gen. Sebastian Pozas.
EVACUATION ORDERED
Unofficial reports from Barcelona, the Loyalist provisional capital only 84 miles from Generalissimo Francisco Franco's onrushing armies, said Lerida's evacution began late in the afternoon.
Evacuation of the city was said to have been ordered by the Loyalist commander-in-chief, Gen. Sebastian Pozas, because his forces were unable to stem the enemy tide.
LOYALIST STRONGHOLD FALLS
Another Loyalist stronghold, the Aragon city of Barbastro 33 miles east of Huesco and 50 miles northwest of Lerivz. fell to Franco’s Na-varrese cavalry and Galician bri-| gades tonight in a huge flanking operation.
Franco's Saragossa headquarters said Barbastro was in flames, fired by fleeing Loyalists who had held it since the outbreak of the war 21 months ago and who had used it as their base for the sieges of Huesca and Jaca and offensives against Saragobbz and Belchite.
INSURGENT TROOPS AIDED
Bombing squadrons aided Insurgent troops that drove upon Barbastro from the north and west.
Farther north and farther south along the weaving 130-mile front marked by Catalonia’s boundary, three other Nationalist columns drove toward the objective of Barcelona in what Franco himself described as “the last chapter of the civil war.”
Kidnapers, Not Rain,
Delay New Wampus;
Editor Is Still Missing
Jock Waner, alias Jack Warner, sometimes called editor of the Wampus, was reported kidnaped last night by his aid de plume, Mort “Multi-face” Brigadier, who told police and reporters that Warner had previously received theatening letters warning him to “lay off, or else.”
Warner, he stated, was in the *-

The men know publicity would not get my claimed to be medical students pay- buddy back, so I kept still and starting their way through college by patching up people who, from time to time, fall through the floors of
Old College.
“You can't deprive us of our bread and butter,” the figures avowed, but Warner, fearless in the face of danger, eyed the men with a let-them-eat-cake attitude and roared, “Go ahead—use force, try

Brigadier and Sid Wise, associate editor, were held for questioning by the authorities. It was believed that the two secretly conspired to do

“Old College must go," Warner declared, “and I am just the man to tell you what to do with it.” Brigadier asserted that Warner had not been seen since this scene occurred last Tuesday afternoon — just one day before the Wampus was to appear. In order to cover up the disappearance of his friend

Whereupon Wise, in the next cell, shouted, “Three cheers for the kidnappers!”

Speaks
Today
'Moral Maturity'
To Be Second Talk in Philosophy Series
The essential nature of ourselves as developing personalities that continually reveal new resources will be discussed at 4:15 p.m. today by Dr. George A. Wilson in his lecture before the philosophy forum audience in the Bowne room of Mudd Memorial hall.
Dr. Wilson, who will speak on "The Marks of Moral Maturity,’* will bring to light the hidden depths of the self-creating inner natures.
PROBLEM OF LIVING
“The problem of successful living becomes a problem of choice among values,” Dr. Wilson declared, “and the self must exercise itself to understand them, to appreciate them, and to build into an ever larger life. The consideration of life from this point of view will be the basis for this discussion; namely, the marks of moral maturity as the self reveals its inner life.
“We live with ourselves throughout our existence.” Dr. Wilson added. “and we should have first-hand knowledge of our innermost nature. But what we really have is. for the most part, a jumble of conflicting notions. We are so objectively minded that the world of things impresses us as being the real world; and we, as different, are—we know not what. There is much to be gained in bringing to light the hidden depths of our nature; for we are in a sense creating ourselves.”
EVIL TO BE DISCUSSED
Dr. Wilson will give this lecture as the second consideration of three central themes in a philosophy of life. In his lecture last week. Professor Wilson discussed the na-
