Barrett Spotlights Modern Literature February 24, 250 guests of the Literary Club assembled in the Regis College library to hear Wil­ liam E. Barrett lecture on "Cath­ olic Literature and the Modern World." Mr. Barrett pointed out that television is educating people on how not to read, and the pocket­ book is telling them that no novel is worth more than 35 cents. Literature offers for the reader a needed expansion of his grasp of time, place, and happening_:_an extension of his experiences. Many authors, according to Mr. Barrett, have fled this century be­ cause they wish to avoid the pres­ ent confusion and crime. Contem­ pory writers must have the moral courage to write what they see. Catholic authors are dealing with the degraded conditions of the day, but through their unique perspec­ tive must interpret and explain these conditions. In appreciation of the· Regis hospitality, Mr. Barrett sends the following letter to the Literary Club and the student body, which reads, in part: "I am deeply in your debt for the staging that you gave my lec­ ture: the publicity, the· arrange­ ments, and the presence of so ·~ many of you.
