DR.. VAN DYKE ON TENNYsON.
Many Words of Praise for Poet-Address Of
Rare Beauty

Last evening closed one Of the rCst
successful course Of lectures ever &C.
livered under the Thomas endowment at
Richmomnd College. DR.. Van Dyke took
as the subject of his address : Icrnysoa,
the Artist and Teacher"
The speaker said In his opening remarks
that we needed poetry to inspire US, and
if he had to choose between the spiritual
facts or ideals that he would take the
ideals. He spoke of the beauty, symme-
try and harmony that was characteristic
of all Of Tennyson's poetry. Tennyson
was an artist devoted to his art. The OBJ
ject of his poetry was to give pure, high
and ennobling pleasure. His poems were
musical throughout. DR.. Van Dyke said
that Tennyson stands alone as the mas
ter Of the art OF expression. His life was
one given solely to poetry You find Ter
nysonS youth at fifteen making rhymes.
and till his death the continued to weave
soace and JOY into rhyme DR.. Van
Dyke told how Tennyson asked him. six
weeks before his death. to give him a
Mot with some historical connection. to
use when he finished his story that he
was then at work upon. u. van dyke
made a comparison of the great poets Q
artists, and said that Tennyson was the
Titan in poetry. He said that Tennyson
practiced his subject as Padereswskt would
one Of his compositions. He would use
the uttermost care in the selection OF MS
words His words were all harmonious:
he is perfect In his observation and de-
scription of nature and the poetry was
rhyt hmica1 perfection. est.:
He said that Tennysona had answered
distinctly and clearly three important
questions in life-the first, the relation of
man to woman: second. the relation of
man to his country. and finally, the rela-
ton Of man to humanity IN all Of his
poetry Tennyson is thoroughly religious.
