{ INSTITUTE or MODERN
LITERATURE

| Bowdoin College in the past hum
dred years has not bean unmindful
Of the rare distinction accruing to
that Institution BY reason Of . small
college from very limited class Of
students contributing to the iitera-
turs Of q great country, and to the
world as well, what the class Of 1926
gave in Longfellow and Hawthorne.
It would be difficult to imagine q
more fitting manner Of observance
this year. 1926. than that comprised
In the Institute Of Modern Literature,
which is to be held at the college.
May 4-16. The program for this In
stitute is source Of qualification TO
every alumnus as well as to others.
Referring to this 1.-THE Explorer"
turers grew slowly, few of us real
tied what a distinguished group Of
writer's was being assembled until
the program was published in its en-
tirety. 1t is safe to say that no such
group has ever been brought togeth-
err on one program at an American
college before. One hundred years
after two men destined to win world
wide distinction in letters were grad
uated from the little backwoods
Bowdoin. the undergraduates of the
new Bowdoin will listen to and meet
in small informal conferences noted
literary men and women of today.
The public will be served. for all lec-
lures will be open, but 1t Is to the
undergraduates that the greatest
privilege is reserved, Those of us
who have fought our way to the
front of lecture hall to murmur q
few incoherent words to one OF these
literary lions may well envy the
groups who will meet them SO In,
timately in the Round Table Confer-
ences.
"The Institute on its present scale
was made possible by the generous
gift of Mrs. Helen Hartley Jenkins
Of New York City, who gave the
necessary funds in memory of her
daughter Helen Hartley, a young
lover OF bellies lettres who died sud-
denly q few years ago. A fund suf-
hctent to provide for one lecture was
also given by the Society of Bowdoin
Women"
This year when there is deter
mined effort being made to call
attention to Maine. this Institute will
attract the notice of many who would
not be reached by the publicity
methods. Of which the Institute is
not. however, a part. The college is
to be congratulated on success al
ready assured.
