COURSE OFFERED.
 IN VERSE ITCHING
Correspondence Study Dee partment at University
 Wisconsin

Recognizing the widespread need among students of poetry for 8 di- rected survey of English verse tech nique, of the principles of versifica- tion and verse analysis as employed both in criticism and in actual poetry writing, - the University of Wisconsin offers a special course in versification through the core spondence-study department of the University Extension division at Madison, Wisconsin.
 Formal college credit is allowed to qualified students, but the course is open to mature students not working for credit.
 The subject matter is restricted to the mechanics of metrical compost tion-the patterns of foot, line, stanza, all the structural elements in poetry. And since all arts are to some degree mastered through prac- tice, constant opportunity in the course is offered for students to exercise their own gifts in versifying as they study the successive prob lens. The course presents a thor ough study of established forms and methods.
 The University Extension division at Madison will send an outline of the course and other information upon request.
