YEATS TO BE LEVERETT LUNCH GUEST TOMORROW

Noted Irish Poet and Dramatist To Talk Informally to Students -- Is Nobel Prize Winner

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

William Butler Yeats, the Irish poet and dramatist, will be the guest of the members of Leverett House at luncheon in the House dining hall at one o'clock on Saturday, December 10th. Following the lunch Mr. Yeats will meet and talk with some of the students and their friends, who are interested in discussing his works.

Mr. Yeats is now in the United States on a lecture four which has included some of the large Eastern colleges. Mr. Yeats will not, however, give a formal lecture at Leverett House, although he will be glad to talk informally with the many students who are eager to meet him. He spoke at Wellesley College yesterday before a large audience.

In 1923 Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, which this year was won by John Galsworthy, another prominent writer in English. Mr. Yeats' most recent plays include: "The Winding Stairway." "The Words Upon the Windowpane", and "The Cst and the Moon."
