Turner Gives Last Lecture

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In the last lecture of the Dowse Institute Series in the New Lecture Hall at Harvard University tonight Professor Frederick J. Turner, Emeritus, will discuss "Recent Sectionalism: Bloe and Class Conflict (1913-1924)" as the modern outgrowth of the earlier geographical sectionalism treated in his previous lectures. Professor Turner's theory, based on the practical lessons taught by an inspection of political maps, offers a logical explanation for the recent conflicts between antagonistic political bloos and classes. An understanding of the sectional theory leads to an appreciation of the true meaning of the sweeping Republican victory in last week's presidential election.

Professor Turner leaves for Wisconsin after the lecture to devote himself to a book which he is writing on the general subject of this series.
