William Y. Elliott, Leroy B. Williams Professor of History and Political Science, will open the Lowell House Forum on the South tonight with a talk on the "Fugitive Poets: 30 Years After," at 8:45 p.m. in the Senior Common Room. Elliott, himself a member of the group of Tennessee poets, will illustrate his remarks with recordings of Allan Tate, John Crowe Ransom, and others reading and discussing their work at a recent reunion of Vanderbuilt University. Among future speakers in the Forum series will be Robert Penn Warren and Ralph McGill, editor of the Atlanta Constitution.
The Forum aims at getting journalists, poets, professors and politicians to discuss all aspects of Southern problems, according to its co-chairmen Howard Walthall '64 and Russell, B. Roberts '64.
