ALUMNI LECTURE COURSE CREATES GREAT INTEREST

A gathering which at times numbered as many as 200 persons and included in addition to a number of alumni who had come long distances, groups of interested people who motored from districts fifty miles from Hanover listened this year to the third series of Dartmouth Alumni Lectures on the Guernsey Center Moore Foundation, given in 104 Tuck Hall from June 20 to 28 by Professors Graham Wallas, of the University of London, and Paul Shorey, of the University of Chicago.

Professor Wallas, one of the original members of the celebrated Fabian Society, and one of the foremost of English students of Political Science and Social Psychology, took for his subject, "Toward an Art of Political Thought," and from accounts given by thinkers and students of the processes of creative thought endeavored to analyze the causes and the methods of such thought, and plead for the conscious development of the powers for such thought and especial attention to those who possess such power. An interesting and accurate account of the Wallas lectures was given by the New York Evening Post which in articles appearing at intervals of two or three days summed up the lectures as they were delivered in Hanover.

Professor Shorey, perhaps America's foremost student of the classics, lectured on "Greek Thinkers and Modern Thought" and revealed amazing parallels in support of his contention that the best of ancient Greek thought was as fully advanced as the thought of the present day. Professor Shorey dwelt upon the re- ligion, philosophy, logic, ethics, and psychology of ancient Greece, and insisted that the educated ancients possessed as thorough a knowledge of these subjects as does the modern world.

Professor Shorey's lectures will be published within the year by the Marshall Jones Co., of Boston, as the fifth volume of the Dartmouth Alumni Lectureship series. The lectures of Professor Wallas will probably not be published for some time and will appear separately from the Dartmouth series though with an introduction acknowledging their place as Dartmouth Alumni Lectures.
