English Majors Are Addressed by W.S. Johnson
Acquaintance With Poet
Met on British Trip
General Theme
of Speech
"A love of exclusiveness, as evidenced by walled-in garden and small fields, characterizes the English people," said Jrof. W., S. Johnson (University of Pennsylvania) on Thursday afternoon on the topic "Conversations With English Poets."
“This bar of exclusiveness is not hard to overleaf, however.” Professor Johnson explained. “The people are very congenial, and are filled with a spirit of goodness and a love of beauty.”
"The general impression one gains from a visit with the English poet is a sense of their sanctity, naturalness and humanity." In his home life,"the speaker stated.
Professor Johnson tourned England the past summer, visiting several of the well-known poets at their homes, and it was the impressions gleaned from conversations with them that furnished the basis for his lecture. Among the poets visited were Walter Wilson Gibson, G. W. Russell (A. E.), William Butler Yeats and Lascelles Abercrombie.
"There are two distinctive kinds of poetry, according to Wilfred Gibson's classification; poetry that is an escape from life and poetry that is an realization of life," the speaker stated. "Gibson's poetry, the poem that was drawn from the grimy, industrial world. His home life, however, is in direct contrast. Secluded in a beautiful, dreamy place, he is apart from the noise and disturbances of industrialism. Walter de Marte on the other hand, his poem presents a contrast between his home life and his dromedary creations in verse."
Walter de la Mare has written some of the most beautiful poetry in England, Professor Johnson believes. "As a poet, he is not interested in ordinary people's reality; he sees beyond the face of the ordinary and discovers that which is beautiful," he explained.
The address was well attended, and was reported very pleasing to lovers of literature. A collection of amphos photos taken by him were placed on view at the room for examination by the audience.

Armament Abolition
Cannot Stop Warfare,
Savs Maj. J. R. Cygon
National Defense Outlined by Local Officers at Meeting of Y. M. C. A.
Muj. J, R. Cygon of the University R, O. T. C. addressed the members of the Y. M. C. A. at their weekly meeting Thursday night in Meyers hall on the subject "Our National Defense." He told of the three departments of the United States army and their part in the national defense program. First the organization of the international guard and then the organized reserves which include the World War officers, R, O. T. C., C. M. T. C., and enlisted officers. Major Cygon said that many people are of the opinion that the regular army takes care of all emergencies, and that in time of war they are the first line of defense, but this is not correct. Instead, the regular army serves as a training service are trained so that they will lead men efficiently, and can be called to service on short notice.
"It is the organized reserves that fight the war. They always have and they always will," said Major Cyrgon. He said that the R.O. T, C. K, G. L. were among the great many men monthly who have been trained as officers.
Major Cypion told the group that the abolition of arms would never bring about world peace. The only way to do so, he said, according to him would be the gradual removal of the causes of war. He said that the churches ought to devote themselves to the individual better-being of the world, as the causes of war instead of passing resolutions and taking a stand against war. He also said that people who pledge themselves never to take up arms for their country have no place in the war.
Following Major Cyron's talk, Chairman Speer of the Haskell Institute of the necessity of Sunday school sachers at the Indian school.
