DARTMOUTH PROFESSORS GIVE EXTENSION LECTURE COURSES

Two extension courses of lectures are being given this year by the Department of English, one in Barre, and one in Brattleboro. Since the success of the original course in Brattleboro a year ago the demand for these lectures has been insistent from many cities. The number of such courses which the Department can arrange to give, however, is small and it was found impossible to add to the engagements already made.

At Barre the course is given primarily for teachers, although the lectures are open to the public. About a dozen people are taking the course for credit and will be given required readings and an examination by the Department. The lectures at Barre are given weekly in pairs, each lecturer speaking Friday afternoon and again Saturday morning. The program of the Barre lectures, including two already given, is :

Jan. 11, Prof. Emery on Pre Shakespearan Drama; Jan. 12, Prof. Emery on Shakespeare's Comedies; Jan. 18, Prof. Joyce on Othello; Jan. 19, Prof. Joyce on King Lear; Jan. 25, Prof. Lambuth on Hamlet; Jan. 26, Prof. Lambuth on Antony and Cleopatra; Feb. 15, Prof. Dargan on Swift; Feb. 16, Prof. Dargan on Dr. Johnson; Feb. 29, Prof. Robinson on Tennyson; March 1, Prof. Robinson on Browning; March 7, Prof. McCallum on Carlisle ; March 8, Prof. McCallum on Emerson; March 14, Prof, Joyce on Dickens; March 15, Prof..
