He has delivered in London this winter a lecture course on Problems in Social Psychology.

Professor Shorey, since 1908 managing editor of Classical Philology and author of The Assault on Humanism," "The Unity of Plato s Thought" and other volumes is one of the best known classical scholars of the day. After his graduation from Harvard in 1878, he studied at the University of Leipzig, the University of Bohn, the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and the University of Munich.
