The Language Conference.
The Language Conference met Thursday, Feb. 24, 1893 Mr. Archie Hogg read a paper entitled,"Poe vs. Longfellow" The trouble between Poe and Longfellow, or rather Longfellow's friends, arose from a charge made by Poe, in a criticism of Longfello's "Waif," that the latter poet was a plagiarist. Longfellow's friends defended him, and Poe then compared Hoard's poem "The Death Bed" with Longfellow's claiming that one of the two must have been plagiarized He based his claim on the fact that ten points of identity could be found between them.
A printer signing himself Outis defended Longtellow from this coarse. His argument being that the fact that two poets think alike, and thinking alike, express themselves in the same or similar words, does not constitute plagiarism. In support of this argument, he compared Poe's "Raven" with an anonymous poem entitled "The Bird of Death," and following Ioe's method, found fifteen points of identity between them showing that Poe is a plagiarist if Longfellow is. Poe was unable to dispose of the points of identity. And the whole shows how silly this identity proof is, and consequently the weakness of the case of Poe vs. Longtellow."
Miss Bowman followed, her subject being "Henry D. Thoreau as a Naturalist and Poet." Henry D. Thoreau was born July 18, 1817, at Concord, Massachusetts. He entered Harvard College in 1833, and graduated in 1837, but at ways spoke slightly of the benefits he received from his instruction there.
Thoreau did not devote himself to any regular business, but obtained what money he needed by agreeable manual labor; surveying and so forth. He adopted surveying as his profession, but practiced it only when necessary. He dived alone in the woods, never going to church, never marrying, never voting. He ate no flesh, did not use tobacco or wine and never hunted with trap and gun. He lived as cheaply as possible, and was content with what he had.
After 1845 Thoreau lived for two years at Walden Pond where he had built a house "A Week on the Concord and Merrimac Rivers" was published in 1849 and "Walden Pond," his best book, in 1854. Several of his books were published immediately after his death, which occurred in 1862.
Thoreau was happiest when alone with nature, and nature is the only subject about which he writes. His style is simple and straightforward, hardly ever obscure. These are many poetical ideas in his prose; and some of his poetry is beautiful, though not regular as regards meter.
His most striking characteristic is his love of nature, and for anyone who shared this love with him, Thoreau will always have a charm. He will reveal many new beauties of nature to his reader.
Professor Canfield then spoke on the lastest fad in French poetry. The symbolists or decadents who are introducing this latest fad, might seem at first, to be influenced only by a desire to break away from established, rules, and to startle by innovations. But the direction of their innovations is the same, and we begin to suspect that they feel some real shortcoming in French poetry, and are dissatisfied with both its form and substance.
Their movement with respect to form, is toward freedom. French versification is governed by rules much more rigid and unyielding than those of English, verse. And from phonetic changes, there has come to be a discrepancy between ordinary pronunciation, and the regulations governing verse.Against these rigid rules, romantic poetry protested long ago, and succeeded in breaking them down a little, and the "Parnassiens" uphold these reforms. These reforms do not go very far, however; the difference between the phonetic value of words in prose and in verse remains. The symbolists demand that the rules of verse be brought close to the rules of common speech, and that narrow technical restraints be removed. Some would break down all the distinctions which we ordinarily make now between prose and verse, claiming that much prose is more poetical than much so-called poetry.
The symbolists claim, also, that the thought should not be expressed too fully, and they are called symbolists from this fact that they suggest the thought by signs or symbols. They fail sometimes, however, to express this fully enough to prevent obscurity. Representative poets of this school are: Paul Verlaine, Stephane Mallarme, Jean Maureas, and Charles Morice.

The Woman's League Entertains
The members of the Woman's League gave one of their successful receptions to all the young women of the University, on Saturday afternoon, and Mrs. B. W Woodward kindly opened her hospitable home for their entertainment.
A rare treat to all present was enjoyed, in the opportunity to examine at leisure, catalogue in hand, the beautiful art treasures which cover the walls of the library, and adorns the other spacious rooms. Tea was served throughout the afternoon, in the charming little reading room adjoining the library. An interesting talk was given by Mr. Woodward, a connoisseur in art, giving some valuable hints upon the cultivation of a love for pictures, and the formation of private art collections, followed by an interesting description of each of his most valuable paintings with a brief notice of the artist. The talk upon art became conversational, and was greatly enjoyed by the guests.
While a large number of young ladies were present, the members of the Woman's League regretted that any shoul miss so pleasant and profitable an afternoon.
A New Staff.
The stockholders of the STUDENTS JOURNAL met last Tuesday for the semi-annual election of officers. Room 15 was filled with stockholders and the following officers were elected:
Wm. J. Krehbiel, editor-in-chief
W. W. Reno, local editor
J. H. Mustard, Dan Spencer, business managers.
Miss Helen Wynne, secretary
F. H Moore, treasurer.
Report of the business managers showed the paper to be on a sound financial basis. The business managers have called but once upon the treasurer for funds, and after the first month the paper has been self sustaining, and enough money will be turned over to the new management to run the paper through February, aside from the funds resulting from the sale of stock.
The box office receipts were attached at the Glee Club concert in Kansas City for a printing debt. It was a disputed bill and Manager Rush compromized.
