C-of-flfqavif 55 M s fi. e'i:i?1-QTM' ' H '- , 2-iywi Q1,..rvu f ' , 7 i QBMIMWM On September 9, 1912, a Professor of English Literature at Campion, Fr. James Daly, S.J., himself a skillful poet and literary critic, re- ceived a letter from a rising young New York poet named Joyce Kilmer, then current poetry editor of The Literary Digest. With this letter began a famous correspondence and warm friendship between the two gifted literary men. On display in Campion's library is the priceless collection of the 51 extant letters of Kilmer to Fr. Daly, covering a span of almost six years. The hurriedly scrawled letters make fascinating reading with their lively comments on the pre-war period and on the literary figures of the day and their worksg but through their pages shine Kilmer's gay personality, humor, and wholesome love of life, and his growing friendship ft'My dear Father James and Your affectionate friend, Joyce J with Fr. Daly, whom he said was by far the ablest literary critic in America and England. Portions of six of these letters are here reproduced for the Hrst time.

.---f O edication O To Joyce Kilmer in commemoration of the 40th anniversary of his heroic death in battle, July 30, 1918, France. In these pages Campion recalls the fascinating story of a great man . . . a poet, a soldier-hero, a convert to Catholicism, a gallant gentleman . . . and of his attach- ment and lasting ties to the school he loved and claimed as his own. This is the true story of KILMER AND CAMPION. qv-FY!-'L3'e..Arv-1 ut qty 1 5 'TQMP ' h . cl ,,.Nv, ' yuerwef-A I LLLSDLAN0 f,,,N.,a.AJ Q1 ,311-E' 'xshlcyovf-A f ' L kt 4.l,cA,'J-rv-1'-'ir 'H' ' ' 'TX-r5 'Mbuw ' . , ,e.,.,... . ,avail ln A-'Ll L uinuly a Lv we W W N 'Nigga demic e ta., -Ne.

It is his task, the slave of Liberty, With his own blood to wipe away a stain. That pain may cease, he yields his flesh to pain. To banish war, he must a warrlbr be. He dwells in Night, eternal Dawn to see, And gladly dies, abundant life to gain. What matters Death, if Freedom be not dead? No flags are fair, if Freedom's flag be furled. Who fights for Freedom, goes with joyful tread To meet the fires of Hell against him hurled, And has for captain Him whose thorn-wreathed head Smiles from the Cross upon a conquered world.
