Visva-Bharati News. July-August 1950

1950

This time the resurgence of life and activity with the return of old students and teachers and arrival of new faces did not present much of a contrast to the comparative quiet of the vacation months. [...] Tagore Society of Ceylon strives through translation of works and prodution of plays in the Sinhalese to bring the great poet nearer to the hearts of the people of Lanka". [...] K. N. Katju Governor of West Bengal gave it a prominent place in his programme on the occasion of the Independence Day and a little earlier the death anniversary of Gurudeva had drawn forth a public appeal sponsdred by the Press for the observance of that day with the ceremony of tree-planting. [...] This brochure apart from its value as a lucid exposition of the problem of tree preservation in this' country and the need of the present measure is a grand public acknowledgement of the country's indebtedness to Gurudeva for the gift of this beautiful and as the country now realises useful festival to the nation. [...] The openness of the country the wide range of visibility that it offered seemed to contain a suggestion of the infinite so dear to the Poet's heart.
