Hayakawa Says Science, Poetry Must Unite
That modern linguistic theory finds no great difference between the language of science and the language of poetry was the theme of a talk given by S. I. Hayakawa, Wednesday, before an open meeting of the General Semantics club.
"Poetry is an aid to sanity." Hayakawa said using poetry as a symbol for language in general. "We may relieve nervous tension by swearing, writing a sonnet or an epic but the effect is the same. It is a resolution of an internal necessity.
"Some people feel that they must justify the non-technical use of language in poetry. This comes from a division of thinking which makes us believe intellectual thinking is the only clear logical thought and that emotion leads us astray. We cannot put either poetry or science above one another.
"People should not worry about their individual frustrations without making use of the escape mechanism of the arts. They will aid in maintaining a workable form of sanity. If this theory is pursued further, intellectual co-operation between literary scholars and psychiatrists may make it possible to prescribe in the interests of sanity certain kinds of imaginative writings for certain maladjusted persons.
"Humans must satisfy their basic needs of which expression is one. In our society most of such expression is in symbolic terms. Language is the most important part of such symbolism," Hayakawa continued.
"Training in literary taste is just as necessary as training in health. The fields of literature and science are too isolated at present. Our greatest advances in the future will come from unification."
Havakawa is a noted author scholar and lecturer. At present he is editor of the Review of General Semantics and president of the Chicago Consumers co-operation.

The constitution was adopted unanimously. It provides for a council composed of representatives from campus organizations and a secretariat. The secretariat will include the five elected officers and two committee chairmen who will be appointed by the council chairman.
Wilder and Miss Campbell, both of whom were active in the temporary organization, spoke briefly on possible campus projects. They suggested the showing of foreign films, contact with groups traveling in foreign countries, and engagement with the International Relations club and other campus organizations, all designed to promote international understanding.
