FOUR NORTON LECTURES TO BE GIVEN BY GARROD

Four Norton lectures will be given during the months of October and November by Heathcote William Garrod, Fellow of Merton College, and Sometime Professor of Poetry at Oxford, the visiting lecturer who holds the Charles Eliot Norton Chair of Poetry at Harvard this year. On four consecutive Wednesday evenings Professor Garrod will speak in the Fogg Large Lecture Room at 8 o'clock, where his lectures will be open to the public.

On Wednesday, October 23 his subject will be "Poetry and the Teaching Office", followed by two lectures on "Matthew Arnold" on the two succeeding Wednesday evenings, October 30 and November 6. On Wednesday November 13 he will speak on "Emerson."

While en route from Liverpool to the United States, Professor Garrod lost his accumulated lectures of five years, and has not yet recovered them. As a result he has found it necessary to begin anew his writing, in order to prepare for the Norton lectures here.

The Charles Eliot Norton Chair of Poetry founded by C. C. Stillman '98, was first held in 1926-27 by Gilbert Murray, Requis Professor of Greek at Oxford, world famous classicist and man of letters. He was followed in 1927-28 by Professor Eric R. Maclagan, Director and Secretary of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Last year the chair was vacant.
