BURNET HOOVER RE-OPENS FACULTY LECTURE SERIES Modern Messiahs Forms Interesting Subject of Speaker Lenin, Ghandi, Kemal, and Sun Yat Sen Are Discoursed On Mr. Burnet Nover opened the fourth annual series of Faculty lectures last Tuesday afternoon, at four-thirty, at Ihe Grosvenor Library, speaking on the subject, “ Four Modern Messiahs— Lenin, (Ihandi, Sun Yat Sen, Mustapha Kenial.' ’ “ The man responsible for the Hus .sian revolution in its later phase is that most remarkable character, liCnin, the founder of a new state and a new religion,’’ said Mr. Nover. The task nf creating the socialist state, accom plished by Lenin, was one which le- (piired an enormous amount of mystic faith. He was fundamentally a man of the future, unswerving in his ideal, never varying in his purpose, through out his life. Lenin was not a man “ overburdened with the centuries’’; to him histoiy was merely a course of evolution. Hence, he had no dogmatic sense of nationality, believing r a t h e r t h a t classes of people are what matter. From this aiose the idea of self determination for Hussia, and of worM revidution, to he achieved by propaganda, the effect of which was soon felt in the East. (Ihandi, the great Indian mystic, on tlu' other hand, has a profound sense of the past. He is impregnated with the Hindu idea and ideals, whose beauty he feels that the West has d(‘stroyod. Another point of contrast between i-enin and Ghandi is t h e f a c t that while to Lenin modern industry, with its ma- cliines, is the economic salvation of hussia, to Ghandi the machine is u thing of horror, and the simple days before machines are to be sought again. Ghandi is in no sense a revolutionary. Ho knows what he wants, but he knows uot how far lie wants to go, except that lu* will not use any force, as benin would. Today, Ghandi remains great spiiitual force in India, al- thuuoh most of his political influence gOIHL •■^un Vat JSen stands between Gliamli ■'ud Lenin, believing on the one haiul iu iiuxlein imlustiialism as the salva tion of China, and on the other hand lo'lieving sincerely in the value of the aiiciont Chinese ideas and customs, his philosophy i.s embodied in the ''Olds, “ Chinese nationalist race, de- tihicracy, imd people's livlihood.' ’ H Would not seem at first t h a t Mus- ta[»ha Ivemal belongs with the others, (Coutiuued on page 2) Campaign For Iris Subscriptions Has Passed Mid-Mark Short Time Still Remains For New Subscribers The campaign for subscriptions of the Iris, U.

JONES SHOCKS MEDICAL SCHOOL Poetry Speaks Of The Mood Itself Says Robert Frost Does Not Believe in Writ ing Poetry For A Career The ehaiin of Mr. Frost lies in his lelightfiilly informal manner. His as sociation w'ith young people has been a w’ide one and he seems to anticipate tlndr questions and pndilems. In his three d a y s ’ residimee al the University, h(* made many new friends by his kindliness ami eonstriietive eritieism of the poetry brought to him. OiH' of tlu“ most frequent qm*stions askeil him was to gi\»* his tlu'ories of poetry. “ P o e t r y , ’ ’ he said, “ shoulii come when the mood comes.’’ For that reu- son he dislikes to have his publishetj^ keep hounding him for more poems. His eyes twinkled when he said he gue.sseil h e ’d have to adopt the method of a fellow poet who tells his publishers each time that the present poem is poslti^ely the last one. “ I like to keep my poems for about a y e a r , ’ ’ he said, “ to see if t h e mood is a permanent one or just a passing one.’’ If he feels th a t the moo<l is a passing one “ and not tru e , ” he des troys the poem. He said th a t he had destroyed not only whole poems, for this reason, but whole types of poems. When asked what he thought of poetry for a career, lie said that he did not believe the people could write poetry for a career or f o r money. Novels or essays or other literary forms might be w’ritten in th a t way but poi'try is two uncertain. I t is written because people c a n ’t help writing it, and is written first for the poet himself and then for a few’ f riends who understand the mood in w’hich it is written. If it is published at all, it is published not for the great reading public but foi the comparative few who will appre ciate it. The trouble w’ith some poets is that they turn out too many poems and often bury their best work in the rub bish which they write. .Mr. Frost said that when ho feels that he can no longer create poetry he will turn to something else.
