YUSUKE TSURUMI TO DELIVER LECTURES ON "MODERN JAPAN"

As the first of this year's lecturers on the Guernsey Center Moore Foundation, Yusuke Tsurumi will deliver a series of lectures on "Modern Japan" during the week of December 8 to 13. Dr. Tsurumi, who was the principal speaker at the Institute of Politics at Williamstown last summer, comes to America as one of the leaders of the younger liberals of Japan. His talks in this country have been characterized by such frankness and breadth of view that his views on the present Japanese-American situation are looked upon with the utmost respect.

On Monday his lecture will be "The Old Order and its Vigorous Foreign Policy." On successive days thereafter he will speak on "The Rising Tide of Liberalism," "Labor Movement in Town and Country and Socialism," "Intellectual Currents and Journalism of Modern Japan," and "The Impact of the Immigration Law on the Japanese Nation."

The Dartmouth Alumni Lectureships were founded as a gift to the College of $100,000 by Henry L. Moore '77 as a memorial to Guernsey Center Moore who would have graduated from Dartmouth in the class of 1904 had it not been for his tragic death. The lectureships were inaugurated in June, 1921, by Ralph Adams Cram and Roscoe Pound, each of whom gave a series of eight lectures immediately following the Commencement of that year. In 1922 the lecturers were William Lyon Phelps and Charles A. Beard, and in 1923 they were Graham Wallas and Paul Shorey.

In past years, the Alumni Lectures have been given in June, but this year one of the series will be delivered in December and the other in March. It was felt that because of the time at which the lectures were given many undergraduates, who would otherwise have been interested, were unable to attend. Also, the innovation offers an incentive for alumni to return to Hanover while the College is in session.
