Moore Lectures

A SERIES OF THREE Guernsey Center Moore Foundation lectures were delivered at Dartmouth on May 13, 14 and 15 by Alvar Aalto, Finnish designer of modern buildings and furniture. His three talks on the general subject of "The Humanizing of Architecture" dealt with 'Architecture and the Public," "Architecture and the Individual," and "Construction and Reconstruction in Finland."

Mr. Aalto, who served as an officer at the front during the Russo-Finnish hostilities, designed the Finnish Pavilion at the New York World's Fair. An international leader in the modern architectural movement, he also designed the Finnish Pavilion at the Paris Exposition of 1937. Among his bestknown buildings are the Viipuri Municipal Library and the Paimio Tuberculosis Sanatorium. His work, particularly in furniture design, was introduced to this country in 1938 by means of an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
