Stephen Spender, well-known British poet, will become the ninety-first Morris Gray Fund speaker when he addresses a New Lecture Hall audience on October 31, Theodore Spencer, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, disclosed yesterday.
Spender, who along with W. H. Auden is recognized as one of the leaders of British letters today, is teaching at Sarah Lawrence College this year. Most successful as a lyric poet, he has been influential in rekindling the spirit of European culture. He was graduated from Oxford in 1928.
