Moore Lectureships

The annual series of lectures on the Guernsey Center Moore Foundation will be delivered this year by Professor Eugen Kuehnemann of the University of Breslau, who is visiting the United States for lectures in connection with the hundredth anniversary of the death of Goethe. Professor Kuehnemann's lectures here on the Moore Foundation will be delivered February 17, 18 and 19. The subjects, which have not been announced yet, will deal with aspects of the life and works of the great German poet.

Professor Kuehnemann, who is coming to this country at the invitation of the Carl Sehurz Memorial Foundation, ranks as one of the greatest living Goethe scholars. His two-volume work, "Goethe," taking the drama "Faust" as the basis for his interpretation of the poet's development, appeared in 1930. He has also written books on Kant, Herder and Schiller.

Dr. Kuehnemann was appointed as the first rector of the new Royal Academy at Posen in 1903. He has been professor of philosophy at the University of Breslau since 1906. He was visiting professor at Harvard in 1908-09 and at the University of Wisconsin in 1912-13 and holds honorary degrees from both institutions.

The three lectures on Goethe by Dr. Kuehnemann will constitute the tenth series on the Guernsey Center Moore Foundation, established in 1920 by H. L. Moore '77, a trustee of the College, in memory of his son, Guernsey Center Moore '04, who died before graduation. Recent lecturers on the Moore Foundation have included Lewis Mumford, Dr. Robert Brifl'ault, and Vilhjalmur Stefansson. Last year Senator George H. Moses of New Hampshire and Representative Robert Luce of Massachusetts each delivered two lectures of a series on the subject "The National Legislature and Legislation."
