Mrs. Roosevelt, Blanshard on Law Forums in Spring Term

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Law School Forum speakers next semester will include Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt and Paul Blanshard, Anthony P. Nugent, Jr. '47 3L, president of the Forum, announced last night.

Mrs. Roosevelt will appear March 17 with Harold Taylor and Dr. Marynia Farnham to discuss the topic "Woman's Place in Today's Society." Taylor is president of Sarah Lawrence College. Dr. Farnham is co-author of "Modern Woman--The Lost Sex."

On February 10, at the first forum of the spring series, Paul Blanshard will join other speakers, as yet unannounced, to discuss "American Freedom and Catholic Power." He is author of a book published last spring under that title.

According to the schedule, released by Paul S. Edelman '46 3L, head of the Forum's planning committee, the first program will be followed by a symposium on "Arts in America," to be held during the week of March 6. Separate discussions of music, poetry, theater, painting, and architecture will be held.

Tell Topics

Other speakers have not yet been chosen, Edelman said, but the program committee has already picked topics for discussion. Among those decided upon are "The Welfare State" for the March 21 meeting, and "As Others See Us," set for April 14.

At the latter forum, speakers from Eastern and Western Europe, Asia, and South America will give the views of America held by foreign peoples.

There may be a final forum, late in the semester, in which "Psychiatry in Neurotic America" will be discussed, Edelman stated.
