On Tuesday, January 25, the Tusculum College English Student Organization hosted its fourth annual Burns Supper to celebrate life and poetry of Scottish poet Robert Burns on his birthday. More than 40 students and English Department faculty enjoyed a traditional Scottish meal while students read selections of Burns’ poetry. Burns, an eighteenth century Romantic poet, is widely considered the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. The Tusculum event followed the order of a traditional Burns Supper that begins with the reading of Burns’ “Selkirk Grace,” includes the “piping in of the haggis” and concludes with the singing of perhaps Burns’ most well known work, “Auld Lang Syne.”
