The exercises were carried out as planned with no gaps and i as a few impromptu add tions , revealed in the following proceedings . F or many years the grave o f Dr . Joseph Rodman Drake had lain neglected and no adequate recognition was given his — memory as an American poet the first native poet o f the city of New York whose writings continued to hold undiminished favor in the American literary pantheon . Time was when the grave was in j eopardy of obliteration by a street ; but protests from a small number of wideawake citizens and editorial writers led to a cancellation of this unholy design and the perpetuation of the graveyard and abutting land as Joseph 1 0 6 Rodman Drake Park , at Hunts Point . In the spring o f 9 , when the preservation o f the site was being considered by the x co city authorities , the Bron Society of Arts and Sciences operated actively and w as represented at a hearing before the local 1board of Bronx Borough by a special committee consist t h rl . ing o f Victor Hugo P al sits and C a es W . Stoughton By The A m erican F lag Drake is a national poet ; by his charming poem on the B r on x he is peculiarly our poet ; whilst ' The Cu lpm t F ay belongs to the English - Speaking peoples every S o u where . it was most appropriate that his memory sho ld be n honored at home where his mortal remains had bee interred . This duty the Bronx Society of Arts and Sciences fulfilled after Six months of untiring efforts by its Drake M emorial Comm ittee and at an expense of more than six hundred dol lars s ecured from its members and interested friends in M an I O hattan and the Bronx ; particular thanks are due to the Board o f M anagers of the New York Botanical Garden who paid fo r the large bronze tablet and cost of erection in the gorge o f Bronx Park on land in the jurisdiction of the Board . B 6th y a happy coincidence , the 9 anniversary of the first publication of The A m erican F lag in the N ew Y ork Evenin g P ost fell on the eve of the day dedicated to the memory of the men who , in our Civil War , gave their lives that not one star The M e should be lost from that flag . exercises of Drake M morial D ay began in the M orris High School at P . The music under the direction of Director T racy was very n much enj oyed . Principal John H . De bigh welcomed the Society and its guests , which was responded to by the Rev . M M acCracken x Dr Henry itchell , President of the Bron Society of Arts and Sciences . After paying tribute to the work of Albert E . Davis , chairman of the Council , and Victor P altsits m M Hugo , Chair an of the Drake emorial Committee . M Dr . acCracken said : T he is Bronx the borough of parks and parkways . Out of its wealth of parks , exceeding four thousand acres , it estab lishes one little park primarily to encircle forever and defend - o the resting place of Joseph R dman Drake . Not alone be his l cause ashes have ain here near one hundred years . Nor e a b c use , born in this city , he lived in this neighborhood a good o f his ‘l l d portion brief ife of on y five an twenty years . But e l m et l esp cial y because here he nature most ovingly . H is form is buried , yet he lives here still as the voice of the natural o w rld all around us . F rom the bank of yonder little river “ of he sings my own romantic Bronx, Thy face , more pleasant than the face of men ; Thy waves are old companions . I shall see a well-remembered form in each old tree And hear a voice long-loved in thy wild minstrelsy .

DACKELOR OF I^SIC Approved: INTRODUCTION Of all the arts, there are surely no two more closely re- late! and inter-dependent than literature and music. To becoir.e only partially acquainted with Milton, Browning or Goethe and to note their allusions to music is to realize that they were deeply in- terested in that art. On the other hand, we co-uld hardly have been blessed with great oratorios, masses, operas, cantatas, and songs but for the literary texts upon which they are based. It is certain- ly true that the musician am the literate have always gone hand in hana. As a result, composers have, from the beginning used texts rrom German, English, Italian, French and other literatures as the basis of their inspiration for many fine operas, oratorios, masses, and orchestral works. It m.ay seerr to sere as though American liter- ature has had little influence upon musical composition, that texts from that source have not been found sufficiently worthy for adap- tation to musical settings.

Dameron: Analogues and Resouces for Poe MORE ANALOGUES AND RESOURCES FOR POE’S FICTION AND POEMS J. Lasley Dameron Memphis State University Perhaps no major American writer was more engrossed in the profession of journalism than Edgar Allan Poe. Some of his best tales and poems first appeared in minor journals or newspapers. His criticisms and reviews, however, were often printed in periodicals that enjoyed wide circulation in particular regions along the Atlantic seaboard. As journalist and critic, Poe spent many hours perusing contemporary periodicals and newspapers, some of which were ephemeral; others were major publications that included quarterly reviews, monthly magazines and big-city newspapers. Most notably, Margaret Alterton, Killis Campbell, Ruth Lee Hudson, and, more recently, Thomas O. Mabbott, Burton R. Pollin, and Benjamin Franklin Fisher IV have established Poe’s dependence upon a variety of journalistic publications.1 Poe’s comment in a letter to Thomas W.

I INTRODUCTION The purpose of this volume is not to thrust upon the pubUc another anthology which, after decorating the drawing-room table a few days at Christmas, shall go to rest under the dust on the top shelf. On the contrary, it is intended to serve in the hands of students as a useful collection of American verse, with notes of explanation and interpretation, which shall illustrate the growth and spirit of American life as expressed in its literature. More- over, it should, by giving new perceptions of power and beauty, lift the spirit and increase the sum of human enjoyment. " Lit- erature is the record of the best thoughts," says Emerson ; and the best thoughts of the best Americans are most assuredly worthy of careful study. The notes are intended primarily, not to ask puzzling questions, but to give information. It may be objected by some critics that much is explained that is already obvious ; such criticism, how- ever, is most likely to be made by those who have never taught school. The brief critical comments which have been added to the explanatory notes are meant to interpret the poems to the student and to win his attention and sympathy.

PREFACE This grouping of American poems had its rise in the welcome accorded to a little volume entitled " The Hundred Best English Poems," issued by the same publishers. To select one hundred examples from the best work by our American poets, excluding all living authors, and avoiding an undue proportion of pieces by the few acknowledged to be preeminent, has been a puzzling although a pleasant task. Of course, no two editors would select the same hundred pieces from the sixty-four poets here represented. Any one familiar with our poeti- cal literature will miss here certain favorites, and perhaps would criticize some of the selec- tions. This is inevitable. It is not always the most finished art which expresses feelings and " thoughts that shall live within the general mind." Many a simple poem has touched the popular heart by virtue of some genuine emotion or idea, melodiously if not artistically versified ; and some of these will be found herein, because they have out- INDEX OF AUTHORS PAGE Arnold, George (1834- 1865).
