Professor Hillyer To Read Poetry Selections Next Week

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Robert S. Hillyer '17, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, in 1934 the winner of the Pulitzer prize for the year's best poem, will read selections of his own poetry in room 211 of Emerson on the evening of July 21, at 8 o'clock.

Professor Hillyer, who is the author of several books of poetry, now has several of his manuscripts on exhibition in the poetry room of Widener Library, where they may be viewed by enthusiastic lovers of poetry.

The announcement that Professor Hillyer has written a novel will probably be pleasing to those who have enjoyed his poetry in the past. The novel, entitled "My Heart for History" will be published next fall by Random House.
