The UniversItv and Literature.

"Application. study and thought" Could
there be a simpler or more adequate stale
ment of the conditions out OF which the
greatest works of literature issHey The lyric,
which is the expression OF detached eXpe-
rience Of a single emotion, OF a sudden i'm
pulse of the imagination, Is, in a measure,
independent OF this fostering OF meditation
and knowledge. A Burns may sing behind
his pillow, in the uplands Of Ayrshire, with
note as clear, a voice as full Of haunting
music as the most amply equipped singer Of
his time: but ne will sing OF the daisy at his
ieet or Of the lark rising solitary skyward, or
of the personal JOY or sadness OF the hour. A
true song. deep song; but not great song.
But the epic, OF which race Is often the real
poet-a race trained and enriched by many
sided contact with life, by wide and deep
experience; the drama, with It's large move
ment and It's constant Interpretation Of pro-
found ideas; history, biography, criticism,
the essay-all these larger forms Of literature,

the soul of the race abides, are conditioned
upon application, study and thought. BE-

one place in which these conditions are pur-

is the University. Shakespeare found Tune

ripest reflection on human life OF which any

some kinds OF knowledge which London can
