Dr. Jameson Discusses Literary Revolution in China
"Only through literature will the Oc-ident be enabled to understand China," said Dr. R. D. Jameson, "and some of it was written by college freshmen."
Dr. Jameson, professor of Western Literature in the Tsing Hua University Library, delivered a lecture on "Discussion of Chancellor Lindley, discussed 'Contemporary China and Literature'" yesterday in the Central Administration building as guest of the conversation committees.
Dr. Hu Shih, according to the speaker was the first to inaugurate the idea of writing stories, poems, and histories in a language which everyone could read and understand. To supplement that Dr. Shih then began to throw out the stories about ancient China and its proverbs, and to write about modern China.
China, according to Dr. Jameson, is going through a series of revolutions in literature as well as economics. These changes began just after the Boxer rebellion, he said, when a Dr. Hu Shi, a Chinese graduate from the Columbia University, began writing stories in the "spoken" Chinese language.
Since the first turn from the old style of writing, Dr. Jameson mentioned, everyone who knows a few Chinese characters is now writing story-
"Even freshmen in my own class," he said, "have been the authors of best sellers and have been reviewed in the literary journals."
When questioned about the immaturity of the freshmen, Dr. Jameson pointed out that the young Chinese matures at a very early age; the result reaches old age much sooner than those who are of the Grade accidentals.
In concluding his talk Dr. Jamesor advised that anyone looking for an exciting position of teaching should teach students how to go through this literary revolution.
Dr. Jameson at one time taught in the same university with Chancellor Lindley and has, for the past eight years, been guest professor in the Chinese University of China. Professor Jameson said he expected to return to China this summer.
