NOTED SPEAKERS ANNOUNCED FOR DARTMOUTH LECTURESHIPS

The Dartmouth Alumni Lectureships founded on the gift to Dartmouth College of $100,000 by Henry L. Moore, of Minneapolis, a member of the Board of Trustees, will be opened this year by Ralph Adams Cram, architect and authority on social problems, and Roscoe C. Pound, Dean of the Harvard Law School, each of whom will deliver a series of eight addresses during the week immediately following Commencement June 21. Mr. Cram in his lectures on "The Great Peace" will follow the path he mapped out in his books "Walled Towns" and "The Nemesis of Mediocrity," and Dean: Pound's subject will be "The Spirit of the Common Law." The course will be formally entitled The Dartmouth Alumni Lectureships on the Guernsey Center Moore Foundation and will mark the beginning of a new educational experiment at Dartmouth, designed to perpetuate the cultural influence of the' College on its graduates.

In announcing the lectures yesterday President Hopkins said: "We expect that many of the alumni and friends of Dartmouth who return at Commencement time will welcome the opportunity to remain at the College for a brief period and to renew their educational contact with it. Some colleges placed within large cities do extension work in their own communities, and others administered under state auspices render large services to their state constituencies. Mr. Moore's plan projects an extension work for the benefit of college graduates and men whose interests lead them into these groups. If the College has conviction that its influence is worth seeking at the expense of four vital years in the formative period of a man's life it ought to offer some method of giving access to this influence to its graduates in their subsequent years. It at least seems clear that the formal educational contacts between the College and its men should not stop at the end of four years, never in any form to be renewed. I feel that the Dartmouth Lectures will continue the contribution of the College to its men in a much more tangible way than exists at present."

Mr. Cram's lectures, according to the announcement, will discuss "the condition of the world, the necessities for the future and for the present rebuilding of society, with an indication of the part that universities and all institutions of higher learning must play in averting a second period of Dark Ages and bringing in a new Renaissance that would be better than the old." They1 will be entitled, A World at the Crossroads, A Working Philosophy of Life, The Social .Organism, The Industrial and Economic Problem, The PoliticalOrganization of Society, The Mission of Education and Art, Religion and Life, and 7he Personal Equation.

Dean Pound's addresses, treating of the fundamental notions of the Anglo-American legal system historically and philosophically, and addressed not to lawyers but to the lay public, will cover the studies upon which he has been at work for many years. Their titles are:—The Feudal Element, Puritanism andthe Lam, The Rights of Englishmen and theRights of Man, The Courts and the Crown,The Philosophy of Law in the NineteenthCentury, The Pioneer and the Law, JudicialEmpiricism, and Legal Reason and Justice.
