and Mr Dotys paper on Harmless

many good thoughts Etta Brown
gave a review of Quo Vadis Fred

the president Miss Stoner introduced
Prof R II Watson who -entertained

Great Stone Face Hawthorne hand
ling this artistic piece of literature n
a rnost scientific and satisfactoryman
and beauti
ner setting forth strongly
fully the different characters and as
serting that if we follow the author
closely we will be carried through all
the phases of human development
lifted from the simple child to ripe old
age step by step audeach succeeding
step gives us time rest and become
acquainted with our surroundings
Inthis way we are led up to the climax
and then let down quickly to a quieter
and calmer phase of thought He
said that Hawthorne in rendenng this
work probably had in mind from the
first one great thought one great
character to which everything else
was made subordinate thus producing
a uniformly symetrical literary -gem
He said that often in works of this
character the true meaning is not at

into an obstacle and in the fall follow
ing severely sprained his right wrist
the casual reader
and often the key note to the whole
work as to be found in one line or
Qfan7R whirih if cut out would leave
a meaningless lot of matter He
touched on other works and asserted
that Poes iRaven is undoubtedly one
of the most artistic pieces of literature
ever written emphasizing the fact that
in poetry there exists life beauty and
inspiration -which in itself has served
to makesfamous our summer resorts
and lakeside cottages Con tinning
he said thttbe leading idea through
out the whole piece is the gradual
growth of Ernests character and
that the arst great stroke made by the
author is fche loving sympathy shown
between little Ernest and his mother
T7p Kfatfid that manv believe that
Hawthorne wrote this to eulogize our
great and noble Emerson and that
Longfellow was the poet who visited
Ernest and discovered that which so
manv others had failed to see He
said that it takes a poet to search nut
the truths and -beauties of nature and
drive them home to tur hearts in such
a way as to fire us with love and sym
pathy for everything around us The
climax of this story is reached with
the meeting of Ernest and the poet
After reading the work in its eatirety
with intelligent and appropriate com
ments at different points the Pro
fessor made his bow and retired leav
ing the audience with a keener appre
ciation of the quality of literary abili
ty possessed by the author of The
Great Stone Face
Good Night quartet by Miss
Lucy Bruner Mrs Y Horthrop -Mr
