Poet Wordsworth
Prof. Rabbits Topic
At BOWdOin Institute
Especial in Kennebec JournaD


Brunswick, Me-, May 1.-THE
Primitivisrfi of Wordsworth" was dis
cussed by Prof. Irving Babbitt of Har-
ward University, who was the speaker
at the Bowdoin Institute of Modern
Literature this evening. In introduce
ing the speaker Prof. George Roy Ell
lott of the Bowdoin College faculty
said that as a literary critic Prof.
Babbitt is noted for his Independent
and powerful thinking, which has
often drawn fire from others in bis
field, and added that there can be no
great age of poetry until the age Of
criticism has been fulfilled.
Prof. Rabbits lecture was unQues-
tionably the most. scholarly Of any
thus far delivered during the insti-
tute. In the course of his lecture he
said: Wordsworth, who himself re-
fleets the primitivistic trend of the
later 18th century, may be regarded
as the father of 18th century English
poetry. There has been no change in
the main movement from his time to
ours. We are hastily likely to get
from the mere lees and dregs of this
movement what it's first sprightly rum
ming failed to give" Our recent writ
err of verse, however much poetic
mind" they may possess in Mr.. Pres
colts sense are displaying even less
real mind than Wordsworth and the
easily primitivists. Pantheistic rev.
cry, again, is interfering with the put
ting forth of specifically human
quality of will even more obviously in
many poets today than 1t did in
Wordsworth.
