Theodore Spencer, instructor in English and tutor in the Division of Modern Languages, will speak on T. S. Eliot, contemporary poet, in the second Morris Gray poetry lecture, at 7.30 o'clock on Wednesday, March 30. The talk will be given in the Poetry Room of the College Library, and because of the restricted accomodations, attendance will necessarily be limited.

Spencer in England

Spencer, a personal acquaintance of Eliot's, graduated from Princeton in 1923, after which he went to Cambridge University, where he took his English B.A. in 1925. While in England he had exceptional opportunities for acquaintanceship with the younger literary figures. Then the coming speaker did graduate work at Harvard, receiving his Ph.D. here in 1928. Last fall Spencer edited "A Garland for John Denne", published by the University Press, for which Eliot wrote a preface.

The talk next Wednesday will be the second to be held in the Poetry Room, which was completed last fall. The room is dedicated to Morris Gray 77 Amy Lowell, and George Edward Wood berry '77, and is filled with their price less collections of rare and first-edition poetical works. An exhibit of origins Keats manuscripts from the Amy Lowell collection is now on display.
