VACHEL LINDSAY

Vachel Lindsay came to Dartmouth on January 10, under the auspices of the Arts, for a reading of his poetry. He visited Hanover before in 1915. His reception committee claims that they went to the train with a photograph to identify him, and stopped three traveling salesmen and a baggage man before they found the poet. Those who met him found what Hanoverians call a hell-of-a-good-guy. His hearers were divided between those who thought his reading was marvelous and those who thought it was exaggerated. But "The Congo" had its inevitable appeal to all. He signed the autograph book of the Arts with some doggerel and a daisy, and left behind him the rare reputation of a poet with a pleasant sense of humor and an apparent enjoyment in being agreeable. Boom-lay-boom.

The College Concert Series relieved the preexam tension with Rachmaninoff, on January 21, and the Round Table brought Jose Kelly to speak on the subject of reconstruction and reform in Mexico, on January 13.
