poet in the British Isles with "A
Boy's.Will" (1913) and "North of
Boston" (1914). Nine generations
of his f orebearers had been New
Englanders, however, and Frost
is unmistakably indigenous to
that section of the country.
One of the most conventional
modern poets in technique, he is
original -and sensitive in his lyri
cal expression of simple New
England experience and cool
wisdom,1 with his quiet pleasure
in. unsophisticated joys his dry
wit, his ironical detatchment
from social and political turmoil
and his proud self-reliance.
Returning to New England fol
lowing his father's death in Cali
fornia, Frost's birthplace, he at
tended Dartmouth College for a
few months, then worked as a
millhand in Lawrence, Massa
chusetts. He married in 1895, af
ter which his grandfather sent
him to Harvard. Leaving in two
years, without a degree, Frost
tried shoemaking, editing a coun
try newspaper, teaching and
farming.
In 1912 he sold his farm and
took his wife and four children
to England. His first volume of
poetry, "A Boy's Will" was pub
lished in England in 1913 and
enthusiastically reviewed by
Exra Pound. His second volume,
"North of Boston" also received
wide praise.
He returned to America in 1915,
and the republication of these
two books established his repu
tation. Since then he has lived in
New Hampshire and Vermont,
except for an interlude as "poet-in-residence"
at the University
of Michigan in 1925-26 and simi
lar positions at Amherst and
Harvard.
He has lectured at, many other
colleges and periodically visits
the University here.
Published volumes of Frost's
Doems are "A Boy's Will." "North
of Boston," "Mountain Interval
(1916), "New Hampshire" (1923),
"West-Running Brook" , (1928),
"Collected Poems" (1930), "A
Further Range" ( 1936) , "A Wit-
ness Tree" (1942) , "A Masque of
Reason" (1945), and "Complete
Poems" (1949). .

A long name often baffles
many peoples. This is true of Am
photerophen, a group which has
been meeting since February to
discuss various current events.
Odd thing about Amphotero
then (Greek meaning looking at
something from both sides) is
that it serves to clarify rather
than baffle.
The organization was founded
here in 1912 by Dr. J. Gde. Ham
ilton and two students, Walter
Stokes (president of the class of
1913 and A.L.M. Williams (recent
ly president of the American
Bankers Association). Dr. Hamil
ton had belonged to the group at
the University of the South and
j worked to organize a group par
allel to the one in Tennessee.
Membership was restricted to ,13
students from the junior and sen
ior ; classes and the group was a
center for extemporaneous speak
ing while members discussed cur
rent topics.
Amphoterothen went inactive
in 1947 and it wasn't until this
year that students noticed an

the reorganization of the club.

Ernest L. Mackie, the club was
