"The Renewal of Words" is announced by Robert Frost, Charles Eliot Norton Professor of Poetry, as the title of the six free public lectures he will deliver in March and April.

The Charles Eliot Norton Chair of Poetry was established under a gift of $200,000 made in 1925 by Charles Chauncey Stillman '98, who died in 1926, in memory of Charles Eliot Norton '46, professor of the History of Art. The holder of the chair must be a man of high distinction and international reputation, under the terms of the gift, and must deliver at least six public lectures on poetry.
