Dr. Rabindranath Tagore, winner of the Nobel prize for literature in 1913, and well-known as an educator, philosopher and poet, delivered an address on "The Meeting of East and West" in the New Lecture Hall yesterday afternoon.

"In comparing the East and West," said Doctor Tagore, "one must consider how far apart they are in science and in many other matters which make a complete understanding of each other difficult. The men of the West judge the men of the East too much by their merely material knowledge and not enough by their moral qualities. They are out of sympathy with each other and without sympathy there cannot be complete understanding."

According to Doctor Tagore, the great faults of the West are self-satisfaction and too great a regard for purely material matters.
