AT HILL AUDITORIUM TUESDAY ON INLANDER SERIES
- ----- l tT 1 cirit
Hailed as America's troubadour
poet, Vachel Lindsay, the vagabond
"rhymster," has been scheduled to
give a recital at 8:15 o'clock Tuesday
night in Hill auditorium as the 'second
of a group of 'two events planned for
this year in a renewal of the Inlander
Literary lecture series.
With an education and background
rich in training and culture, he has
branched forth in the past 15 years in-
to a career, more romantic and more
his "rhymes" as he went and preach-
ing hi's "Gospel of Beauty." He lists
his recreations as attending moving
pictures and taking cross-country
walks.
His poetry seems to have caught an
undercurrent of American life which
bespeaks an insight of keen discrim-
ination and a. life of unu'sual interests.
In addition, he has added to his books
by illustrating them with pen and ink
drawings.
