HILLYER LAUDS BENET, WHO SPEAKS AT UNION TONIGHT

Stephen Vincent Benet, prominent among the young school of writers, will address an audience composed of members of the Union this evening at 8 o'clock in the main Living Room.

He will be introduced by R. S. Hillyer '17, assistant professor in English, who recently said of the author's best-known work:

"Mr. Benet in his 'John Brown's Body' set for himself a major task, accomplished it, and found recognition. His technical skill, his enthusiasm for his material, and his narrative power, are combined in a poem which has had phenomenal and merited success. Mr. Robinson's 'Tristran' and Mr. Benet's 'John Brown's Body' have brought to good poetry unprecedented popular acclaim in this country--a fact which should be significant in our literary history.

Although his exact topic has not yet been announced, Mr. Benet will probably discuss modern literature in general.
