Chancellor MacLean delivered an
address on "The Modern Meaning of
Literature" in the chapel of the uni
versity Monday evening.
Matthew Arnold said that all the
books made literature. "Think of all
the railroad guides," said the lecturer,
"and the cook bonks, to say nothing
of the yellow backed productions.
Neither Is literature esthetic It is the
visible manifestation of the strivings of
the human soul. Literature Is the
highest expression of the growing soul.
Tn literature we find Intimations of the
Ulvlne joy. It Is this power within us
that makes genuine literature. Bas
com urged permanency In that which
was to be literature.
"Literature Is a fine art. Is the shoe
maker an artist? No. But when he
begins to work with his leather and
makes tapestry, then he has come to
be an artist.
"It Is the Imaginative element that
gives us the human and makes us
Godlike. We may perceive and Imi
tate, but an artist like Raphael con
ceived, and not only Imitated, but
created. We must use beauty as the
splendor of truth.
"There Is an abundance of teachers
of English literature. Let us venture
to give a definition. Literature is then
a permanent collective body of the
written productions of the human souL
"We say not a collected body for that
wouM mean that progress had ceased
and the. human race was stationary,
but It Is being brought together.
"Our literature like every other ub
Ject properly viewed is an organism
and Is the crystallized product of or
ganic humanity. It has to do out
wardly with writing.
"But this definition does not please
me so much as the alternate T will of
fer you. Literature Is the living em
bodiment In letters of the soul. I see
this confirmed when I look to that
great critic. De Qulncy. He perceived
that not -11 books were literature, that
some of them were dying.
"Literature must mean much to
every people possessing a literature.
Can we overestimate what must be the
meaning to us of our literature? We
are made next to our dearest ones by
this modern literature that Is flying in
through our windows. It Is literature,
not law, that governs.
"We would use every method that
science gives us In the study of litera
ture. It is time that literature should
not as formerly be placed upon a
thron with Bclence as an abject slave.
Science holds a sphere of its own and
literature ever occupies a central place.
Our great men of science are also men
of literature.
"Our literature is the grandest in
quantity and content. One greatness
Is In that we have ever been cosmo
politan. Our literature, having bor
rowed all that was In all others, also
contains an addition of Its own."
