‘The Architect of the Whole Plan’: Harvard Law Graduate Ken Chesebro’s Path to Jan. 6
The Rev. Charles F. Dole D.D., '68, of the First Congregational Church; Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, will deliver the Ingersoll lecture for this year in the New Lecture Hall this evening at 8 o'clock. His subject will be "The Hope of Immortality: Our Reasons for It."
The Rev. Dr. Dole is well known both as a writer and a theologian. He graduated from Harvard in 1868 and took the Master's degree in 1870. He then entered the Andover Theological Seminary, from which he graduated in 1872. He was professor of Greek at the University of Vermont until 1874, where he accepted a call to a Portland church; from here he went to the First Congregational Church of Jamaica Plain, which charge he still holds. In June he received from Bowdoin the honorary degree of D.D. His appointment as Ingersoll Lecturer was announced on June 3, 1906. Among his works are, "The Religion of a Gentleman," "The American Citizen," "Luxury and Sacrifice," "The Problem of Duty," and "The Spirit of Democracy."
The Ingersoll Lectureship was established by the will of Miss Caroline Haskell Ingersoll of Keene, N. H., in 1893. It was provided that a lecture upon, "The Immortality of Man" should be delivered and published annually. Last year Professor Wilhelm Ostwald of the University of Leipzig spoke on "Individuality and Immortality."
The lecture this evening will be open to the public.
