Moore Lectures

The annual Guernsey Center Moore Foundation lectures at Dartmouth will be delivered this year by Douglas Southall Freeman, editor of The Richmond NewsLeader and winner of the 1935 Pulitzer prize in biography, on December 3,4 and 5. Mr. Freeman, whose three-volume life of Robert E. Lee was adjudged the finest piece of biographical writing of the past year, will deliver three afternoon lectures on the general subject, "Adventure in Biography." Dartmouth honored Mr. Freeman last June with the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters.

This year's lecture series will be the fifteenth since the start of the Guernsey Center Moore Foundation in 1920. The annual lectures have been made possible through the gift of H. L. Moore '77, a former trustee of the College, in memory of his son, Guernsey Center Moore '04, who died while an undergraduate. Last year the Moore lectures took the form of a symposium on "The Issues of Modern Art," with John Dewey, Max Eastman, Frank Jewett Mather Jr., and Edward F. Rothschild as the speakers during the four-day program.
