A Short History of T h e Bards By Le t t a T h o m a s

WAS CHARTER MEMBER OF CLUB

ORGANIZED IN 1924

J U D G E H A R R Y L. C R E S W E L L

W h o s e poems a r e i nc luded o n t h i s page d e d i c a t e d to T h e B a r d s , w a s o n e of i t s or ig ina l f ounde r* .

The Bards , organized in 1924, is the second group, formed in Grand Rapids, fo r t he purpose of doing exciusive-ly crea t ive work. The f i r s t was t he L. L. C. Scribblers, founded in 1896 and still active.

Curiously, t he spark t h a t b r o u g h t The Bards into being was l ighted a t a meet ing of t he Scribblers . Judge Har ry L. Creswell was presen t as gues t speaker and, dur ing t he in-formal discussion following his address , a Scribbler mention-ed t h a t s h e was hoping to a r r a n g e a g roup fo r t he s tudy and production of poetry, simiiar to The Poe t ry Society of Am-erica.

Immedia te ly , Judge Creswell replied t h a t he had been th inking along the same line; t h a t he knew a number of lawyers and newspaper men who would be interested. He added t h a t he would invite some people to h is home to talk it over. Th i s he did, and The Bards , wi th Judge Creswell as f i r s t pres ident , was organized.

A t t h a t time, the membersh ip was limited to twenty-f ive wr i t e r s of verse ; then t he g roup was persuaded to ad-m i t f ive composers of music. Soon, an associate membersh ip of poe t ry lovers, and of non-wr i t ing and non-composing husbands and wives was demanded. There proved to be such a clamor f o r admission chat, before long, numerical l imits were removed, and an examinat ion of t he work of appl icants subs t i t u t ed . The membersh ip in all classes increased and a nominal membersh ip fee was imposed.

For some time, every member a t t end ing a meet ing of t he club read a piece of verse which was discussed and c r i t -icised by those present . This pract ice was discontinued be-cause i t took too much t ime and because some objected to cr i t ic ism of the i r verses. A Board of Critics was appointed and m e m b e r s who took the i r wr i t i ng seriously enough to de-sire cr i t ic ism submit ted mater ia l to t h i s board a t a specified t ime T h e work was unsigned and t h e crit icisms presented a t the nex t meet ing of t he group. O the r members read the i r verses to t he club which l istened wi thou t comment.

In 1927, the late Char les B. Kelsey, as a mark of his in-te res t in T h e Bards and his apprecia t ion of the work done, paid f o r t h e pr in t ing of a beaut i fu l ly bound anthology of t he work of t h e members , and presented each one of the club wi th a copy.

L a t e r a circulating l ibrary of cur ren t books of poe t ry was establ ished. Gi f t s increased and in 1927 t he group was incorporated as a cultural society, unde r the law of Michigan.

Soon t h e idea of contes ts c a m e up and fo r a number of years J u d g e Creswell paid fo r t he pr izes ; la ter t he t r e a s u r y assumed t h i s obligation. Meant ime t h e number of music*] m e m b e r s reached a point where they , also desired contes t s and th i s was ar ranged. Judges f o r both contests a re a lways f r o m out of town.

A t present , in addition to crea t ive work, it is usual to include on every program an address , or review of some im-por t an t new book of poetry, or a book per ta ining to some Dhase of poetry or music. A t every meeting, following t he cri t icism of submit ted mater ia l , t he re is a discussion o f i m -por t an t news in the two fields of in teres t . Working toge th-er poets and musicians have produced some in teres t ing songs as' well a s t he work done in t h e i r individual fields.

A social hour ioiiows the p r o g r a m s which occur the las t Tuesday evening of the month f r o m September to May m-cluaive.
