Tm: PENSEMAN THE LOWELL SCCIETY HPI fourth year of existence has passed for the Lowell Society in Pen- nington. lt has been a most successful year, for the amount of work it has done and the fellows it has helped along in literary work. The work of the society is very extensive, covering a large field of interest and effort. The programs conducted are all very well worked out by Dr. Green and presented by the members. Through the talks given by the members a great deal is learned about the various phrases of literature, art and lives of great men. Some programs of great interest presented this year are, A General Survey of American Literature. This gave the members a glance at live phases of American literature, poets, essayists. his- torians, novelists, and orators. An evening was spent with James Russell Lowell. His history, and writings were discussed, and we got an insight as to what made him the great poet and man that he is. Another topic of unusual interest was, Two Great Russian Authors, Leo Tolstoi and Ivan Turgenieff' Two other famous writers were learned about, Omar Khyann and Rabindranath Tagore. Every year the society meets once at the home of the Headmaster, which is named Lowellden. At this meeting Dr. Green always has something of great interest. This year he gave us a talk on I.owell's great poem, The Vision of Sir Launfaulf' As always, we gathered a great deal from his talk. Editors and newspapers were discussed. This program closed with an oration, An Appeal for Better Reading. As the year draws to a close and we look back and recollect what we, as members, have learned, we can say that we have tried to exemplify, in our lives, the society's motto: Upward Still and Onward. 59
