To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

The Division of Philosophy has invited Mr. Rabindranath Tagore, the famous philosopher-poet of India, to give some more lectures, and Mr. Tagore very kindly consented to give two. One he gave yesterday and the other comes tomorrow. Mr. Tagore recently lectured here with marked appreciation. May 1, through you, call attention to the significance of Mr. Tagore? In the Times Literary Supplement for March 20, 1913, leading article, is the following:

"A new star, perhaps of the first magnitude, has lately appeared in the Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore, whose exquisite art and keen vision of the eternal through the temporal stamp him as a religious genius of rare power. It may be hoped that the appreciation of his poetry in Miss Underhill's new book (The Mystic Way, by Evelyn Underhill) will procure many readers for the cheaper edition of the "Gitanjali."

This is only typical of the reception Mr. Tagore is having. ROBERT F. RATTRAY.
