POE ONCE LIVED
IN DELAWARE
Lectured at Old College, New
ark, and Lived In the
Old Academy
OLD "GRAD" REMEMBERS

Edgar Allan Poe, FAMOUS poet
and short-story writer, who is re
puted to have lectured in the Old
College Oratory during the 1905.
was most certainly lecturer at
the Newark Academy, then the
academic department &C Delaware
College, for one whole week in
1849, several months before he
died. During this period, he lived
in the Academy This is verified
on the testimony of the Rev. Epher
Whitaker, a graduate of the Glass
of 1S47, later an eminent divine
and author of the History of
Southold", Long Island Between
1874 and September, 1849, Whit
aked lived and taught in the Acad-
envy. Of Poe, he writes: Each
day of this week (the week Poe
spent at the Academy I met him
and heard him lecture on Ameri-
can poetry. All the teachers and
all the classes in the Academy
were in the large school-room daily
and heard him for an hour. He
was always prompt when the
Academy bell in the steeple rang
the hour for his lecture. All heard
him with attention and pleasure,
even the youngest of the pupils,
boys Of fourteen or fifteen years.
He drew from memory nearly all
the poems which he used as ex-
amples and illustrations. The only
book which he used was the Rev
Rufus w. Griswold's Poets and
Poetry Of America. He did not
wholly approve Griswold's selec-
tons. He (Poe) recited with the
utmost effectiveness several poems
which the compiler had not select
ed for his book He also indicated
a few in the volume deemed by
him utterly unworthy of a place
among representatives of Ameri-
can poetry" OF Poe, the man,
Whitaker adds: During that week
he bore no mark of dissipation in
bearing, in countenance, or in
speech. He appeared a somewhat
shy and reserved, but thoroughly
courteous, gentleman" He noted
further that, contrary to likeness
es that showed Poe of eager and
alert countenance, "his eyes had a
contemplative and even shrinking
expression. He showed a gentle,
sensitive, pensive, almost sad ex-
preston" The latter was in keep
ing with the impending breakdown
Of what fnely-orgauized brain. 50
out of harmony with the rough
and tumble world about him. Poe
died in Baltimore on Sunday morn
ing, October z, 1S49. OF Poe's re-
puted lecture in the Oratory, we
have no details. The statement
has been made that Poe was once
a Lyceum speaker at Delaware,
and the late President William Fl.
PurnelI. Glass of 1916, once said
that Poe lectured in the Oratory.
Whitaker, whose period covered
1914 to 1S49, makes no mention of
Poe having been at the College
proper, although it would seem
that if he were at the Academy
week he would surely have been
placed on the College program at
least once during his stay.

political neutrality. -. 1t is
equally obvious, however, that
the church cannot be a political
instrument of the state. For faith
in Christ cannot be one and all
for the state, but it must be one
and all for the church.
5. Like all human institutions,
including the church, the state is
subject to the law of corruption
and sin. The gospel, however, is
not Faithfulness to people
and nation is self-evident for the
church; it has never been lost or
diminished.
6. The National Socialist party
adopts the platform of positive
Christianity" This constitutes an
enormous responsibility assumed
before Gods throne. The church
is ready to assist the state in dis
charging this responsibility, by
administering religious instruc-
ton, by conducting home mis-
sions, by influencing public NOR
ais and by using press and radio.

are inseparable from German
life. In the homeland of J,uther's
religious revolution there are sew
eral popular churches, and they
may continue to exist. Our unity
as a nation is not jeopardized
thereby. The separation be-
tween politics and religion is
a task of "positive Christianity,
to be accomplished by coordinate
Christian popular churches.

GERMANY WARS
UPON CHURCH

BERLIN. March 7.-(UP).-
The German church dispute con-
tinues.
Methods, of course, have chang
ed. Public protests against Fed
eral Bishop Mueller's policies
have become sparse because they
may be followed by immediate re-
moval from office. But discussion
about the fundamental questions
Of Professionalism still goes on in
private circles. In almost every
community, laymen and clergy
men meet regularly discussing re-
lations between religious faith
and political doctrine.
Thus. Professor Rudolf Her
mann of the theological faculty
offs Greifswald recently published
"seven theses on the relations be-
tween state and church," contain.
ing the sharpest reputation OF
extremist political ideas.

the church is in charge OF the
