In a special closed meeting preceeding the regular public Wednesday evening discussion groups, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt will speak informally to the Council on Post-War Problems.
Her address will be followed immediately by simultaneous conferences at Dunster and Leverett Houses, where Sidney B. Fay, Professor of History, and Alvin H. Hansen, Littauer Professor of Political Economy will talk, respectively.
Earlier Visits Made
Mrs. Roosevelt has made an earlier appearance at Harvard, on February 15, 1941, when she led a conference of Harvard Liberal Union members and representatives from student groups in other colleges on "The place and Function of Liberal Organization in the United States."
Her last visit was during the 1941 Summer School where she spoke on "Tomorrow's Children".

Professor Fay, speaking in the Dunster Common Room at 8:30, is to discuss "The problem of Germany After the War" and at the same time Professor Hansen, at the Leverett Common Room in a meeting also open to the public, will speak of "Post-War Economic Planning for Full Employment."
These two meetings are the first of a series of discussions to be sponsored throughout the summer sessions by the Council on Post-War Problems. Some of the other well-known figures, experts in varied phases of the complex international problems which will face the world after the peace, who will speak in future meetings, are: Professors Reischauer, Black, Wright, Leontieff, Slichter, Haberler, and Doctor Sweezy.
