The Poetry Foundation was established in 1929 by Morris Gray '77, who left the income of $10,000 to bring contemporary poets to Harvard. T. S. Eliot, Carl Sand burg and N.E. Cummings have appeared under it's auspices.
The more than capacity audience inside heard Cummings 15, Charles Eliot Norton Professor, reminisce about his undergraduate impressions of Harvard and Boston. He illustrated his memories with anecdotes about Seollay Square and matches of startling poetry.
A locked door and "No More Admittances Hall Filled" turned away over 50 students from the last E.E. Cummings lecture last night. For twenty minutes the crowd pounded and fumed outside Sanders Theatre.
Cummings spoke of the freedom he had at Harvard as his first experience with independence, and recounted the thrill he had felt as a senior living in the yard. Five traditional love poems concluded the last Norton lecture of the fall term.
E. E. Cummings '15 concludes his Charles Eliot Norton lectures tonight at 8 p.m. in Sanders Theatre with "I and Self-Discovery." He will talk for a half-hour and read related poetry for 15 minutes as in his two previous lectures.
