PUBLIC LECTURES

Following its custom of former years, the Tuck School has arranged this year a most interesting course of lectures. The first of the speakers was Jonathan T. Lincoln, a textile manufacturer of Fall River, who on November 4 and 5 delivered three lectures on the subject of, "The Relations of the Employer and the Laborer." Clarence W. Tourtellotte, Tuck School '07, of the American Locomotive Works of Schenectady, New York, also gave an informal talk to the first year men, on "Standard Times."

The best attended and most interesting series from the general viewpoint were the lectures of Wilder D. Quint '87, under the title of "Talks on joursnalism." Mr. Quint's was a series o six lectures beginning Monday, Nov. 16, and running through to Friday, the 20th. The respective sub-divisions of his topic were as follows: "The Story of the Ancient Newspaper," "The Rise of the Modern Newspaper," "How a Newspaper Is Made," "The Reporter and His Art," "The Ethics of Journalism," and "Journalism as a Career."

Another series of public lectures was also delivered this last month by Prof. Hans Gadow of Cambridge University, Cambridge, England, who spoke under the auspices of the biological department. Professor Gadow discussed "The Colors of Animals," first taking "The Colors of Amphibia and Reptiles," and later "The Colors of Birds." It is also expected that through this same department, Prof. Edward E. Morse of the University of Tokio, and at present Curator of the Peabody Museum of Salem, Mass., will speak on Japanese life in general and the customs in Japanese schools in particular at one of the Saturday evening "smoke-talks." Professor Morse is considered an authority on Japanese customs and art, and is the possessor of the finest collection of Japanese art in this country.
