The Atlas on which the world of fiction rests
Prof James Swing delivers the second Sylvan Boat club lecture at the Congregational church in Chicago. He argues that every literature department reflects human nature and that the novel centers on woman as the binding force of fiction, tracing its history from Greece to modern times and praising the sacred beauty of art. The audience applauded a thoughtful eloquence, though a song was cut by an absence.
