"FORT MAITLAND''

Professor Hanna's Recent BookReviewed by Ray Stannard'

BakerI have just read with much in-

terest Professor Hanna's historyof "Fort Maitland." It seems tome as admirable a study of its kind—an elaborately complete historyof a single small American com-munity—as one could find any-where. Professor Hanna has notbeen content merely to turn over

THE LATE L. F. DOMMBRICH

Florida pioneer, to whom Profes-sor Hanna has dedicated his newbook with the following tribute:

"Banker, Financier and Mer-chant, in recognition of hisdistinguished contributions tothe higher life of Florida, nob-ably as Trustee of Rollins Col-lege and as Co-Founder of theFlorida Audubon Society, dur-ing his long and happy winterresidence in Maitland."

the musty documents, but shows usthe town growing out of a stirringpast. His chronology of events inthe history of Florida beginningwith the discovery by Ponce deLeon in 1513 is not only valuablein itself, but gives the reader anew sense of the rootages of an in-teresting and still rapidly develop-ing civilization. Many, towns inFlorida originated in early fortsbuilt to discipline the unruly In-dians; and we have here the de-tailed genesis of one such fort, thestriking personalities connectedwith it, especially Captain WilliamSeton Maitland, and the slow up-building of a typical Florida town,

WORK OF A. E. HOUSMANAT POETRY SOCIETY

By Rose Mills PowersThe Poetry Society of Florida

held its first meeting at the homeof Dr. Hamilton Holt on Saturdayafternoon, January SOth. The spa-cious rooms were well filled and anumber of out of town poets wereguests. Prefacing her talk on A.E. Housnaan, Mrs. Seollard paid abeautiful tribute to the late Mrs.Holt, the gracious hostess of manyformer meetings.

In reviewing the life and workof the famous poet-author of "TheShropshire Lad," the literary sen-sation of the late nineties, Mrs.Seollard based her account on in-terviews she had with his brother,Laurence Housman, whom she meton several occasions in New York.After describing Housman's earlybackground in the Worcestershirehills, visited by her and Dr, New-man last summer, his precociousyouth in a strictly Victorian family-circle where the seven childrenwere all trained in literary expres-sion, Mrs. Seollard told of his bril-

"FORT MAITLAND''

(Continued from page 1)the "first deed",in 1873, the "firstbusiness building" in 1876, the firstinn, the first church, even the firstfamous visitor—President Arthurin 1883—the town little by littlegathering1 its people, planting itsinstitutions, and acquiring the per-sonality and the quality we recog-nize today.

It is a satisfaction to find suchworthy scholarship so adequatelypresented to the public. The bookowes much to the charming andhelpful illustrations, decorationsand maps contributed by Miss Geor-gianna Hill, herself a granddaugh-ter of a Maitland pioneer; and theRollins Press has distinguished it-self in the quality and beauty ofthe typography, and the excellenceof the paper used. It is altogethera praiseworthy piece of book-mak-ing.. One of the most admirable fea-tures of the book, as it seems tothis commentator, is the sense ofgenerous and helpful cooperationthat it gives. We feel behind itnot only the enthusiasms of Pro-fessor Hanna and his students—indeed he calls the study a "by-product of the Rollins College Con-ference plan of teaching history,"but the interest and practical sup-port .qf the people of Maitland, asset forth in an introduction by JeanParker, the secretary of the FortMaitland Committee. The book isdedicated to Louis Ferdinand Dom-merich, whose, father was one ofthe early settlers of Maitland.

It is to be hoped that this excel-lent study is only the first of many,out of which in time will grow athorough understanding and appre-ciation of the peculiar and signif-icant life that is developing herein Florida,—Ray Stannard Baker.

"Hiawatha," the magnificent es-tate established in Maitland by Mr.Dommerich, is one of the loveliestin Florida. The notable azaleagardens were developed under Mr.Dommerich's supervision. His chil-dren, Mrs. Reinhard Siedenburg, atrustee of Rollins, Otto L. Dom-merich, a former trustee of Rollins,

and Louis W. Dommerich, now con-tinue their father's cultural inter-ests of Florida, notably RollinsCollege and the Florida AudubonSociety.

WINTER PARK HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM(Continued from page 1)

was a building that filled everywish. The broad open entrance,the width of the assembly hall, itsspaciousness, its pleasant andcheerful lighting, the tasteful dec-oration of the interior all combinedto give the audience the feelingthat this building came up to theWinter Park standard.

Following the concert came theseries of lectures by John Martinwhich formerly packed the Con-gregational Church and now packthe Auditorium also. The hundredsof visitors who come to hear Dr.Martin found the new lecture roomio be ideal in every respect, and agreat addition to the prestige ofWinter Park.

Our pictures in this issue of theexterior and interior are ample de-scription of the appearance of theAuditorium, in which ArchitectHarold Hair has combined beautyand utility most successfully. It isin harmony with the Meditetrra-nean type of building so charm-ingly represented by the ICno-wlesMemorial Chapel, the Annie Rus-sell Theatre and the dormi Loriesof Rollins as well as many of theattractive residences. Rough caststucco walls, tinned a warm buff,afford an effective background forthe tropical shrubbery which willadd charm to the now rather bareexterior. Every detail of modernconstruction has been carefully

1IaitIII

worked out including ample pro-tection against termites and fun-gus.

The architect has been eminentlysuccessful in that most importantof all features of a public hall,—the acoustics. Careful tests weremade to assure that all echoes andreverberations would be eliminatedand Mr. Hair must have felt veryhappy at the many congratulationshe received after the first Sym-phony concert.

The interior equipment is ade-quate and suitable in every respect.The curtain over the stage, over-drapes and window drapes are inblue velour, the secondary curtainin gold satin, the seat cushionsblue leather. Total seating, 1080.

The building was financed withthe aid of a Federal grant andloan. Estimated to cost $75,000,this amount was reduced by Archi-tect Hair some $8,000 through ju-dicious designing. Although itsuse is primarily for the WinterPark High School, which had noassembly hall, the Auditorium willfill a need for the whole commu-nity as a center for music, dramaand lectures.

Not the least satisfactory itemin the story of the Auditorium isthe fact that it was completed andready for use ahead of the contracttime. The construction was underthe efficient direction of Frank A.

ALDOUS HUXLEY'SPEACE PHILOSOPHY

"Sparkenbroke" and "Eyeless inGaza," said Dr. Evelyn Newman inher Monday lecture, "are both ex-positions of the philosophy of theirauthors." That of Aldous Huxleyis set forth through the life of An-thony Beavis, a man whose earlydissolute life has brought clownupon this novel the severest erit-icsm. Then Anthony comes underthe influence of an older man whomakes him realize his responsibil-ity in his personal relations, andcreates in him the desire to gainfreedom by becoming a part of thewhole, by devoting himself to theservice of others. Up to this timehe has been "eyeless in Gaza at theMill with slaves," like Milton's

by the idea of Unity. "Unity ofmankind, unity of all life, all beingeven . . . United in peace." Thisis the philosophy of Aldous Hux-ley, whom Dr. Newman met at aninternational meeting in Brusselslast September, a meeting held to

Aldous Huxley, together withLord Lansbuiy and the Rev. R. H.L. Sheppard, is a leader in thepresent peace movement in GreatBritain. Their attitude of no-more-war has been recently attackedthere because it has hampered therecruiting of men for the Britishregular aimy.

She de-scribed how he spent his nightsstudying in the British Museum,when he was employed in the civilservice, and how he eventually wonhis Bachellor's and Master's de-grees and became Professor inLatin for many years in Londonand Trinity College, Cambridge.

"His early failure made him amisanthrope and smote his spiritinto revolt," she continued, in dis-cussing the astringent quality ofhis work, in contrast with the "artfor art's sake" literature of hiscontemporaries of the nineties. "lienever dropped his character of 'TheShropshire Lad' in his later work,and to his seventy-seventh year,when he died, his poems were thoseof youth in protest, many of themautobiographical with despair overan unhappy love affair and othersbrooding over death, althoughmuch of his disillusion was tingedwith humor."

Mrs. Scollard delighted her aud-ience with her reading of severalpoems illustrating the variousphases of Housman's character andemphasizing his credo that poetryis not intellectual but a mediumfor communicating emotion.

"He will not stand with Shelleyor Wordsworth," she said in clos-ing, "because of his cynicism, butthere is a splendid buoyancy in hisnegation that is very arresting andwith universal appeal.

Feodor Vladimir Larrovitch

An Appreciation of His Life AndWorks; Gift to Rollins CollegeLibrary by James Howard Bridge.

(The following story dictated byMi\ Bridge describes one of themost famous literary hoaxes of re-cent times.-—Ed. Note.)

"There is only a limited amountof knowledge in the world, and ifone man has more than his share,some other man has got to goshort." So spake William GeorgeJordan, one time editor of the Sat-urday Evening- Post and author ofmany "uplift" books—such as "TheKingship of Self-control," "TheMajesty of Calmness," etc. Thefamous hoax of the Author's Club—that concerning the suppositi-tious career of Feodor VladimirLarrovitch—had its origin in thisdelicious whrmsey. And the wayof it was thus:

One night, at the Author's Club,Jordan overheard, in an adjoininggroup of writers, the ultra-positivestatements of a very learned mem-ber whose wide knowledge wasconstantly thrust upon his hearersalmost with violence—shot out ofa gun, as it were, killing a conver-sation and starting a tiresome

monologue. After listening a mo-ment, Jordan exclaimed, "But Lar-rovitch doesn't think so."

"Who's Larrovitch?" asked theself-appointed orator.

Jordan smiled. "You know whoLarrovitch is."

"No, I don't. I never heard ofhim."

"Impossible!" ejaculated Jordan."Are you joshing us?"

"Certainly not, I never heard ofhim."

With a tremulous motion of hisleft eyelid, Jordan appealed to thesurrounding group of authors andeach member of it promptly avowedhis intimate knowledge of Larro-vitch's important contributions toRussian literature.

"Why," said Jordan, "everybodyknows that Dostoievsky stole wholepages from Larrovitch, and Go-gol's plagiarisms have been pointedout and denounced by Dr. Zeudorfin his famous work on "Dostoiev-sky und seine Zeitgenossen."

At that moment the group wasapproached by Dr. Titus Coan,who, after an explanatory flashfrom Jordan's left eye, became fullof reminiscences of his personalcontacts with Larrovitch in Paris.Thereupon every other member ofthe group discovered in the hiddenrecesses of his mind various as-tounding recollections of this"Father of Russian Literature."

From that time forward Authors-Club memories of Feodor VladimirLarrovitch gew like a rolling snow-ball, and many of these were com-mitted to writing so that theycould be read at a special meetingof the club called to celebrate theone hundredth birthday of thismythical personage, These learned,scholarly, and often brilliant es-says were afterwards published ina book, bearing the title "FeodorVladimir Larrovitch; an Apprecia-tion of His Life and Works," whichhas just been presented to the li-brary of Rollins College. In thisis a prolegomenon by ProfessorFranklin H. Giddings; the personalside of Larrovitch by WilliamGeorge Jordan; Larrovitch's placein literature by M'Cready Sykes;some translations from Larrovitch

Hellman;five Larrovitch letters by ThomasWalsh; talks with Larrovitch byTitus Coan and a delightful poemby Rollins' old friend, Clinton Scol-dard, as follows:

What I shall say of Larrovitchshall be

As though one spoke of twilightin the spring,

Of vernal beauty come to blos-soming

Too soon, to fade and be but mem-ory—

The memory of a something towhich we

In our exalted moments fainwould cling1,

Frail and ephemeral as the whitemoth's wing,

Or as the prismy spindrift of thesea,

Let us forget the chill Siberiansnows,

The stark Caucasian heights letus forget;

These girdled and oppressed him,and his woes

Wake in our hearts a passionateregret;

So be there strewn above his longrepose

Sweet sprays of the Crimeanviolet!
