Tillich Lectures

A LEADER of modern Protestant thought, Prof. Paul Tillich of Harvard University delivered five lectures at Dartmouth last month, April 27 to 30. The last three, a series of evening lectures open to the public, were sponsored by the Jacob Ziskind Memorial Lecture Fund and were arranged by the William Jewett Tucker Foundation.

Dr. Tillich's first lecture was limited to the Great Issues Course and dealt with "The Relevance of Judaism and Christianity in the Encounter of World Religions." The second, open to the public and given as part of a series sponsored by Philosophy 14, dealt with "The Religious Significance of Existentialism."

The general theme of the Ziskind Memorial Lectures, presented on three successive evenings, was "Religious Principles of Moral Action." The individual subjects were "Religion and the Foundation of the Moral Imperative," "Religion and the Ethical Norms," and "Religion and Moral Motivation."

Other lecturers in the public series sponsored by Philosophy 14 have been Prof. Morton White of Harvard and Prof. Alice Ambrose Lazerowitz of Smith. Additional speakers during May will be Prof. Walter Kaufmann of Princeton, Prof. C. G. Hempel of Princeton, Prof. C. S. Stevenson of the University of Michigan, and Prof. Max Black of Cornell.
