Lecture on "Buddhist Doctrine"

Dr. W. Sturgis Bigelow '71, of Boston, will deliver the first of a series of eight lectures on "Buddhist Doctrine," to be given on successive Wednesdays in Emerson H, at 4.30 o'clock this afternoon. His subject will be "A Statement of Buddhist Doctrine in Western Terms." Last year he delivered the annual Ingersoll Lecture, the subject of which was "Immortality as Conceived and Taught in Northern Buddhism."

Dr. Bigelow was graduated from Harvard College in 1871, and from the Medical School in 1874. During the years 1882 to 1889 he spent most of his time in Japan, becoming thoroughly acquainted with the Buddhist faith and with the customs of the Japanese. His last visit to Japan was in 1903, when he devoted himself to the study of Buddhism.
