"A. E." WILL LECTURE AT HARVARD THIS FRIDAY

Addressing his audience on "Some Personalities of the Irish Literary Movement," George William Russell of Dublin, Ireland, wil give a lecture Friday at 4.30 o'clock in Room D, Emerson Hall.

Russell, whose pen name is "A. E.", is an Irish poet and painter. He has an intimate acquaintance with all the personalities whom he will treat in his lecture.

As a writer he is often criticized as one whose natural vein of mysticism has made him a Platonist, responsive to the mystic vein of Gaelic literature. Richness, sympathy, and mysticism are the chief marks of his lyric poetry, and appear also in his prose-drama on Irish tradition, "Deirdre". He is also a sympathetic and imaginative critic. Deeply interested in the social and political problems of Ireland, he has written and done much for his country in this connection. At one time he was the editor of The Irish Statesman.

Some of the works that "A. E." has published are the following: "Homeward", "Songs By the Way", "The Earth Breath", "Literary Ideals in Ireland", "The Nuts of Knowledge", "The Mask of Apollo", "Deirdre", "By Still Waters", "The Hero in Man", "The Renewal of Youth", and "Gods of War".

The lecture will be open to the public.
