Fine Tributes Paid to the Poet of Humanity a
the Univ CAB Lust Night.

Last nigt most profitable meeting was
held by the Unity club at council hall. to
discuss Walt Whitman's poetry. From a
purely literary point of view the essays
! maintained high standard. Mr.. b. L.
keenan, led off with carefully prepared
biographical paper His emphasis was
upon the personal character, the breadth,
the spirituality and the kindliness of the
man, rather than the chronological de-
tails of Whitmau's life. Mrs. Nora Scott
| followed with a brief account Of the poets
ancestry and personal history, taken from
an authoritative bio graphical article DR..

Whitman's genuine poetry and his vague
unmeauing rhapsodies. paying at the same
time a tribute to his manly recognition OF
sex equality. Mr.. W. P. Cleayeland then

its way, bright and witty, but not alto

man does not satisfy.
Mrs. Toler gave a quotation from the
poet which seemed to place him among
the theosophists.
Mr. j. F. Craig followed with brief
paper emphasizing inspiration as the
essential quality of poetry, without which
Matthew Arnold, classic in style, falls
short of being true poet, and with which
notwithstanding literary crudities Whit
man rises 10 high place in the world Of
poetry,
Mrs. Nan w. Healy's poem at this point
marked the climax of the evening 1t was
sympathetic song of tribute to the seer,
full of loving gratitude for the vision Of
universal things he had given to
those whom understand him. 1t was

softly repeating her musical lines to the
listening friends present.
Miss Blanche Martins contribution to
the program was recitation -Ingersoll's
eloquent funeral Grafton over Whitman.
Mr.. Shipper followed with clever par
ody on Whitman from a recent novel of
Richard Grant Whites, with the PREDATORY
comment that Whitman's place was too
secure To be threatened by the darts of a
witty Photographer. Even ardent friends
OF the poet could appreciate good ma
tured satire. Mrs. Huff had q eulogistic
paper on Whitman's poetry with album

showing considerable p,tinstaking search

evidences of impotence or WEAKNESS on
the part of the auditors.

membered among the lovers of literature
who attended.
