OF ST. MARY’S
Vol. XX,'No. 7
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA
January 17, 1958
Mr. Unfermayer
Gives Lecture
Mr. Luis Untermayer was the guest
speaker at a lecture given to the St.
Mary’s student body Thursday night,
January 6. His topice was “What
Makes Modern Poetry Modern.” Mr.
Untermayer, himself a poet and critic,
entertained as well as enlightened the
girls by a witty and appealing discus
sion on the modern poet and his
poetry. He attempted to clear up
many common misconceptions con
cerning the modern poet and likewise
gave the audience an insight into
comprehending the poetry of today.
With accompaning examples he
gave a very precise and easily under
stood definition of modern poetry, one
that will probaly aid the hesitant read
er to attack poems without such hor
ror of their difficulty. His opinion that
Robert Frost was America’s greatest
living poet was an interesting state
ment. He read a poem by T. S.
Elliott, Robert Frost, closed with a
poem of his own, and encored with a
lovely composition, “Prayer.”
In his day’s visit in Raleigh, Mr.
Untermayer attended a press inter
view. He also answered students’ ques
tions for an hour at 12:00 noon in Miss
Morrison’s room. The Main points
of discussion were the means by which
One begins to write a poem and mod
ern literature in general. After the
lecture Thursday night, a coffee hour
Was held in his honor in Faculty
House.

Looking around at our class re-
t*nion, it appears as though we are
entering the “Metallic age”—gold in
cur teeth, silver in our hair, and lead
ttt our pants.

tic of German art in the twentieth
century. E. L. Kirchner’s popularity

recent years.
