THIS year is the bicentennial of Goethe's birth. The Americans, characteristically, got off to a good start in July with an impressive Convocation held at Aspen, Colorado, where the guest of honour was Albert Schweitzer. This account of the gathering was sent to "The Listener" by DOROTHEA TURNER, of Auckland, who took part in the celebrations. Listeners are likely to hear: more about Goethe later in August, when the bicentennial is celebrated in Germany, at Frankfurt (where New Zealand will be represented by Dr. A. C. Keys, Professor of Modern Languages at Auckland University College), and the NZBS will mark the anniversary on its due date, August 28, with a special 40-minute evening programme from 2YA.
