" Sir Rabindranath's visit
The Sahitya Parishad will be held in April. News had been received that Sir Rabindranath Tagore will grace the conference with his presence.His visit will be no ordinary event. He is not a politician, but a great poet.In India, certainly he has no equal .Our friend Andrews is himself a poet. and in his opinion Sir Rabindranath has no equal today even in Europe.
As he is a poet, so he is a Philosopher and believes in God.Andrews have even called him a prophet.This great poet is a priceless gem of India. No one can deny that his poetry is full of spiritual wisdom, ethical ideas, and other noble elements. His Gitanjali and Sadhana stand in a world apart, his stories are full of childhood's joy and equally of thought and art.

It is to be noted here that even after Rabindranath had denounced his knighthood one year earlier, Gandhiji was writing "Sir" while addressing him which shows nothing but Gandhiji's pro-British attitude.
For excessive heat, Viswa Bharati was declared to remain closed for three months on and from 25th march 1920 and Rabindranath and his company consisting of Prof Kshitimohan Sen, Srijukta Santosh Chandra Majumdar, Student of Viswa Bharati Sreeman Pramatha Nath Bishi started for Bombay .
