Frye Talks
On Basis
Of Poetry
The language of poetry is very
suggestive of mental disorder.
Professor Northrop Frye told those
attending the convocation Friday
night at Love Library auditorium.
Frye, literary scholar and critic
from Victoria College, University
of Toronto, Canada, explained that
this is because poetry is abstract
literature based on metaphor.
The metaphor, be said, is a
statement of identity such as "the
hero is a lion." He reminded his
audience that Shakespeare speaks
of "the lunatic, the lover and the
poet."
"Poetry," Frye said, "is differ
ent from other structures in words
because this statement of identity
could be made only by a lunatic, a
lover or a poet."
One of the places where the
metaphor can be seen at work is
in the language of religion, he said:
He used the term sun god as an
illustration by which man identifies
the sun with a god.
Frye, a student of modem phy
chology and author of papers deal
ing with aesthetic theory and poet
ic technique, visited the campus
under the sponsorship of the Con
vocations Committee in conjunc
tion with the department of English.

After hearing Neff, the committee investigating the contribution
concluded its bearings for the present.
The chairman of the Senate Elections subcommittee, Sen. Thomas
Hennings (D-Mo), announced that he is resigning as chairman to
clear the way for the subcommittee to make a "far broader" investi

the committee beaded by Sen. Walter George (D-Ga).

The Milwaukee Journal said that Sen. Joseph McCarthy (Jt-Wia)
has received favors from the Superior Oil Co.
The oil company is the same one involved in the campaign con

According to the newspaper, McCarthy and his wife, in 13S3, were

in the name of the Superior Op Co., Oil and Gas Eldg., Houston, Tex."
