By MILDA GINGELL
The poetry of one of the greatest
of the German dramatists and
writers, Frederich Schiller, was
discussed yesterday in a sympos-
ium led by Prof. Martin Dyck of
the German department.
Prof. F. B. Wahr, professor
emeritus, opened the discussion by
declaring that Schiller was a cor-
nerstone of German culture.
"As a poet, I don't know if he
suits the tastes of the modern
generation, but he was one of the
foremost poets of German culture
and a great lyric poet of lis own
generation," Prof. Wahr continued.
He next brought up the ques-
tion: is Schiller great as a poet'
and is he a lyrical poet?
By discussion among panel mem-
bers and members of the audience
it was concluded that although he
has written several lyrical poems,
they lack depth and are too dis-
cursive.
Discuss Art
Emery George of the German
department said that "a work of
art tells us something about our-
selves and the world through an
emotional experience."
Elaborating on Schiller's effec-
tiveness, Prof. T. G. Winner of the
Slavic languages department said
that few Western writers and no
Western poet has had such a great
effect on Russia.
"At this time Russia was in need
of the revolutionary ideas and
asthetic theories of Schiller where-
as most nations had put these
qualities behind them; perhaps
this accounts for the wide accept-

ance of his poetry in Russia," con-
tinued Prof. Winner.
Challenged Life
Prof. Wahr noted that Schiller
knew real life and that he chal-
lenged life. 'Although he led a
brooding life and felt impinged
upon and inhibited most of the
time, he built up a vision of a
better world to come.
He wanted philosophical free-
dom over political freedom, al-
though his poems may be inter-
preted to apply to political situa-
tions, he said.
Commenting on the emotional
nature of Schiller's works, Prof.
R. C. Blake of the psychology de-
partment said that Schiller was
strongest in his dramatic ability.
His plays are intensely emotional,
not just thought out, and the pres-
ent generation does not appreciate
his intense uncontrolled emotion-
alism."
Another panel member, Prof. G.
Cambon, visiting lecturer in the
English department, emphasized
the dramatic nature of Schiller's
poetry as opposed to its lyrical
qualities.
Plans Made
Other plans forcelebration of
the Schiller bicentennial include a
symposium to be held at 8:30 p.m.
today at the Cass Theatre in De-
troit. Prof. Dyck, along with fac-
ulty members of Wayne and Mich-
igan State Universities and the
University of Detroit will partici-
pate.
Prof. Mathijs Jolles of the Uni-
versity of Chicago will lecture on
Schiller at 4:15 p.m., Monday, in
Rackham Amphitheatre.
A Schiller exhibit is currently on
display in the lobby of the Under-
graduate Library.
