At the beginning of the second half-year starting on February 14, 1923, four lectures will be given on successive Wednesday afternoons at 4.30 o'clock in Emerson D. on the life and works of Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Milton, with readings from their works.
Professor G. B. Palmer '64 will deliver the first lecture on February 14. He was for 40 years a professor of Philosophy in the University and with Professors James and Royee formed a famous trio of American philosophers. This is an unusual opportunity to hear him, because he has withdrawn almost wholly from public appearances. He will speak on Homer and read from his own translation.
Professor E. K. Rand '94 will speak on February 21 on Virgil. On February 28, Professor C. B. Grandgent '83 will speak on Dante. Professor J. L. Lowes will give the last of the series of lectures on March 7, with Milton as his subject.
These lectures are planned primarily for students concentrating in Ancient or Modern Literature and are intended to furnish some guide and suggestion for their private study. They are open to all members of the University. No tickets will be required for admission to these lectures.
