A CHAMPION OF IBsEN.

Ibsen was highly lauded in a
lecture recently given by Professor
Guthrie at Chicago university. The
professor praised Ibaen's courage, his
love for the truth, his hatred of all
demagogism and pretense. Ibsen
was misunderstood. he said. and
greatly misrepresented by ignorant
criticism. He was arst Of all re-
former. 1t was unjust to call him a
pessimist for he only sought to reveal
the truth Society was corrupt and
needed his keen criticism. Professor
Guthrie judged Ibsen to be the
greatest poet born in the north,
greatest even than Ohlenschlaeger.
AS an artist, also, he is great, Real
ism and symbolism were happily
blended in his poetry and always did
he spur his readers to think.
