Durham Speaks ON Tennyson DIR.
Thomas e. Green Tonight


The afternoon session of Chautauqua
yesterday began promptly at 2.30 with
a lecture on Significant Elements in
Tennyson, by Supt. E. A. Durham and
was followed by an enjoyable musical
entertainment by the Boston Little
tendance of about 300.
Mr.. Durham in beginning his lecture
said one of the purposes. of Chautauqua
was to make us neighborly and friendly.
There is no more democratic system in
America than Chautauqua. 1t is the
great outdoor college of America
The speaker said he had chosen Ten
nyson for his subject because he was
one of Tennysons readers, who loved
him so well that he liked to speak about
him. He was more idealistic than any
other poet and was philosophical in a
poetic sense His poems all showed that
he scrupulously avoided sermonizing and
measured men on the basis of moral
CHARACTER.
Tennysons greatest work, according to
the speaker, was In Memoriam. 1t is
the greatest elegy that the world has ever
known and is mixture of fears and
fancies, hopes and depressions. shades
and shine, just as the ordinary human
individual finds them in life.
Quoting from various passages of Ten
nyson's works, the speaker illustrated
the music and the message that were
contained in these poetic lines. Among
the poems of Tennyson which Mr.. Dur
ham urged his audience to read are The
Revenge, Idylls of the King and In
AIemoriam.
