FRESHMAN TO PUBLISH SECOND BOOK OF VERSE

FIRST YEAR MAN WON LITERARY HONORS AT NEW HAVEN

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Another name will be added to Harvard's growing list of undergraduate authors early next week, when Lucius M. Beebe '28, who has transferred to Harvard as a Freshman after two years at Yale, will publish his second book of poetry. "Corydon and Other Poems".

Although only 21 years old, Beebe has had an unusual amount of literary experience, both as an undergraduate at Yale and as a professional journalist.

Held Many Honors at New Haven

While at Yale he was fence orator for his class, one of the highest honors which may be conferred upon an undergraduate at New Haven. He was a member of the editorial board of the Yale Record, a contributor to the Yale Literary Magazine, a member of the Yale Literary Fraternity, and cup man for the Yale Record for 1923.

He has also seen service as a professional journalist on the staff of a wellknown Boston daily, as correspondent for various New York papers, and as a literary contributor to current periodicals.

Many of the poems in "Corydon and Other Poems", Beebe's latest book of verses, are reprinted from well-known magazines to which he has contributed.

For an undergraduate, Harvard's young poet has received an unusual amount of acknowledgment from the literary critics. His verses have been included in William Stanley Braithwaite's "Anthology of Magazine Verse", and he numbers William Lyons Phelps, G. '92, John Clair Minot, and other noted critics among his literary friends and sponsors.

Beebe prepared for college at St. Mark's School, in Southborough, and at Roxbury School in Cheshire, Connectieut. His first volume of poems, "Fallen Stars", was published in 1921, while he was still an undergraduate at Yale.
