Dr. Harrison gave another of! his verv entertaining lectures at I Itu the court house Monday night. I tu His subject was " Tennyson, the Poet Laureate." After giving a 1 81 sketch of the life of this famous | p' Knglish poet, he outlined "the i Idyls of the King" and "in Me- 1 g* morian," ais two choieest produc- j M tions, and made comparisons of ! C' | these with the masterpieces of J a i other distinguished poets of the ? nineteenth century. It was interesting throughout and even i more entertaining than his pre vious lecture on Chaucer. an Much to the regret of our peo- |1( pie, the Doctor announced that this would be his last lecture dur- ?-t in?_r his stay here conducting the lh ! summer school. v?
