The first lecture of the third compliment
tary lecture course of Carroll Institute was
given last evening at the club house by
Ainsworth r. Spofford, librarian Of Con-
gress. before a large and Intelligent audi
ence. Mr.. Spofford's subject was Poetry
and Prose-" and his dissertation was an
aole, scholarly effort. that was enjoyable
In the extreme. The address was in the
nature of review Of the works Of famous
authors OF the past hundred years or SO,
out MS views were directed mainly to the
characteristics Of the writings in general
rather than TO expressing appreciation of
any one writer or set of writer's. President
IaYlor of the Carroll Institute introduced
Mr. Spoford to the large audience which
comfortably fllled about every seat on the
main MAJ moor and in the gallery of the pretty
nan, and said that he felt great pleasure
IN introducing Mr.. Spofford as the first
lecturer of the course, because the institute
nau peeh fortunate enough to secure him
Tor that position during the last two wears
ana IL seemed a great favor that he should
rake the initial talk of the third season
MIR. Spofford said that he would make
MS discourse not a treatise upon what con-
s,itu,ed genus In poetry or try to review
al the works from Aristotle down to the
present tlme, but rather a consideration of
the varieties of expression used by writer's
OF the past century, and thus show how
HiuSh III tne Work depended upon the DOS
session OF few characteristics that were
owned by all writers to a greater or a less
degree. He said he would show the differ
ehce between rhythm and rhyme, and
touch upon the laws relating to the former.
The bulk of Librarian Spofford's lecture
was devoted to poetry, although he gave a
splendid review of the later works of prose.
he thought that there We're very few per
tect poems in existence today, and that
the most OF them We're marred by some i'm
PerIectlon in meter, harmony of thought or
eHpf ession. He considered Shelley, Cole
ridge ard Tennyson the three greatest
poets of modern times and during the
evening read entertaining extracts from
the work of each.
Poetry said Mr.. Spofford among other
things, lis something which has exerted
great influence upon the entire world 1t
Is impossible TO rid ourselves of its effects
1t occupies our whole lifetime. A nurses
lullaby is the first sound that greets our
ears in childhood. and prayer is the last
word uttered over our dead bodies. Ii is
the inspiration of the young and of the old.
IT has place in religion, in our hymns
and in our love Of country. 1t is the one
universal chord that touches ALL
