Will Open Tonight Leslie Tells Of Swift's Love Life' "Swift was a firm believer in platonic love, which he forced on Stella and Vanessa until they both died from it," Sir Shane Leslie told an appreciative audience yes- terday afternoon at the Architec- ture Auditorium. Leslie, guest of the English de- partment, lectured on "Swift, Stella and Vanessa." He traced the life of Jonathan', Swift, and told of Stella and Vanessa, the two women in Swift's life. * Si * ACCORDING TO Leslie, Swift was "not the marrying kind," and soy he prevented both Stella and Vanessa from becoming the mar- rying kind also. Swift wanted to know both women "intellectually and platonically" Leslie remarked. Both Stella and Vanessa in- fluenced Swift's writing accord- ing to the lecturer. Swift sent the manuscript of "Gulliver's Travels" to Stella for approval before it was published. The character of the nurse in this book is said to have been pat- terned after Stella. Leslie told of his own search for Swift's manuscript of "Temple Memories." He finally found the manuscript in an old English housekeeper's room. This is a good place to look for anything Leslie said, as they usually have "an accumulation of old rubbish." THE MANUSCRIPT was first given to the British Museum, but it "naturally came over to Amer- ica," Leslie said, although it is now back in England. Leslie surprised the audience by appearing in a dignified Eng- lish morning coat instead of the expected Irish saffron kilt. Even without his customary colorful attire, however, the noted Irish- man succeeded in charming his audience as he told the adven- tures of Swift and of himself. "I don't know which he hated most, the English or the Irish," said Leslie of Swift. Asked his impression of the University, Leslie replied, "I am absolutely amazed and delighted at this magnificent University. It has an academic charm that I wish we had in Ireland."
