SUMMER THEOLOGY SCHOOL

Fourteenth Session Will Last From August 15 to September 2-Prominent Speakers on Lecture List

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Ministers and laymen of many denominations and from many parts of the country will assemble at Cambridge this summer when the Summer School of Theology holds its fourteenth session, announcement of which was made yesterday. The School will open August 15 and close September 2.

Among the men of prominence in religious affairs and social service work who have accepted invitations to lecture at the School are John Graham Brooks, S.T.B. '75, Rev. Samuel M. Crothers '99, Rev. William L. Sullivan of New York, Robert A. Woods '10 of the South End House in Boston, and Judge Frederick P. Cabot '90 of the Juvenile Court of Boston, as well as Dean W. W. Fenn '84 of the Divinity School, Professors Kirsopp Lake, and George Foot Moore, LL.D. '06, and James Ford '05 of the University, Professor Ozora S. Davis of the Chicago Theological Seminary, President George E. Horr of the Newton Theological Seminary, and the Rev. Charles E. Park of Boston. President Lowell is scheduled to give one of the lectures. The names of other noted speakers will be announced later.

Last year the Summer School of Theology, revived after a lapse of many years, had by far the biggest registration in its history, being attended by 152 men and women of eleven denominations. An equal or larger registration is expected this summer. The Unitarian ministers at the School were especially numerous last year on account of the action of the Unitarian Laymen's League in contributing toward their tuition and other expenses. It is announced that the Laymen's League proposes to make the same offer this year.

The School is intended to provide opportunities for ministers, social workers, and others interested in religion and ethics to hear stimulating lectures on modern problems. The dates for the School, August 15-September 2, have been definitely selected in order that members of the School may have rooms and board at Standish Hall, without interfering with the occupation of this dormitory by students of the Harvard Summer School of Arts and Sciences during July and the early part of August, and also in order that clergymen whose vacations come in August may be able to attend without inconvenience.

The registration fee for the course will be $15.00, while the fee for room and board at Standish Hall will range from $36.25 to $49.25.

One entry of the building will be reserved for single women attending the school and another for married couples, while a special arrangement has been made whereby the wives of ministers registered in the School may attend lectures without themselves having to pay any tuition fee.
