SNYDER TALKS ON
 SOUTHERN FICTION
hE ALSO CHARACTERlZES POE AS THE ONE IMMORTAL CONTRIB BUTTON BY AMERICA TO THE WORLDS ERARY CoTERlE.

University. June 27.-(SpeciaD. .--Yester- day afternoon, in view of the fact that he had not had time during the morning hour to finish his lecture on the subject of Southern Humor," Dr. Snyder took the afternoon period to complete his talk. To illustrate what he had said on the subject he read several selections from the early southern humorists. The first of these was the account of how young Simon SuGgs, caught playing cards by his preacher father and threatened with a whipping, ingeniously interested the old man in a card trick, persuaded him to bet his horse on the proposition, won the wager. and started out on his career of questionable exploits. The second reading was from Major Jones Court ship" wherein the bashful major relates the story of how he popned the aues- tion. The selections in themselves were very entertaining, and with his com ments, in which he showed that the humor, though broad and sometimes coarse, created an effect of realism. kept the audience in a continuous laugh.
 This morning at 10:30 pr. Snyder gave his most interesting talk so far on the subject of Southern Fiction" To be- gin with. he described his point of view as that of one who, not as an isolated partisan. wished to ascribe to II superb ority over all the other literature of the country. but who wished to show it's true place as q phase of Southern culture. He said that the mass of southern fiction had shown a distinct sensitiveness to the great literary movements of the times; the char acter drawing of the eighteenth century, the rise of sentimentalism, the lurid im- aginatvc t!ie, and the pseudo historic movement Turing the period between 1880 and 1865 the south,'' he said, fur nished three men of talent-K ennedy of Maryland, Simms of South Carolina Cooke of Virginia--and one of real genius --Poe-to the literary history of the coun- try" Kennedy. he characterized as a typical man of the old south, Simms as a remarkable story-teller and admirable painter of character, and Cooke as the best prcserver of the memories of the struggle between the states Many other writers of lesser note were mentioned. By illustration. he showed that the literature of the south was a mirror in which are recorded all the great historical move ments in which the south has played part. He brought his lecture to an end with an all too brief discussion. made so by lack of time. and appreciation of Ed gar Allan Poe. whom he spoke of as the problem of American letters.
