Forensic Fraternity
Planning Work
Fi Kappa Delta, honorary forensic,
fraternity, held its first meeting last
Wednesday', at which time plans for the
ensuing year were discussed.
Among the things discussed were plans
for the annual meeting of the State
Oratorical Association to be held here

Kappa Delta. Southwestern only has
this meeting once in eleven years, and
plans call for a memorable occasion.
Another project discussed was that
of a debating tournament to be held
among freslufien. Flans are under way
for this.
Miss Annie T.dvvanl Bareus has been

Bliss Carman, distinguished Ameri-
can and Canadian poet, author of a
number of volumes of poetry, and con-
tributor to American and foreign mag-
azines, will appear at Southwestern
Friday', November 18, tho hour to be
announced later. Mr. Carman for more
Mwn a quarter of a. century has Been
one of tho distinguished poets of this
continent.
Bliss Carman.
Bliss Carman distinguished himself
in classics and mathematics, took his
B. A. in 1881, his M. A, in 1884 and
afterward took partial courses at Edin-
burgh and Harvard. lMSMas been con-
nected editorially with several Ameri-
can periodicals, the Independent and
the Chap Book, but now he devotes him-
self exclusiely to literature. Mr. Cai-
man issued his first volumes of poems
in 1892, when lie had already won rep
illation as a contributor to tho mag
azlnes. The volume was called “Low-
Tide on Grand Pro: A Book of Lyrics'."
It was published in New York and Lon-
don and ran quickly into a second edi-
tion,

themes rather curiously and often whim-

filled with lyric passion.
Bliss Carman’s poetry not only haunts
the ear with its harmonies but .appeals
to tin' heart and intellect. The char-
acteristics of tin' Canadian sell
often* seen in Mr. Carman's work. He
expresses himself in such a. way that
he is distinctive arid the influence of
his poetry is already active in the verse
of his contemporaries.
