As a part of the centennial celebration of the life and works of the poet Goethe, Gerhart Hauptmann, foremost German playwright, will deliver a lecture in German entitled "Goethe" in Sanders Theatre on Friday, March 4, at 8 o'clock. This is one of the seven occasions upon which Dr. Hauptmann is scheduled to speak during his visit to this country.
The meeting in Sanders Theatre will be held under the auspices of the Germanistic Society of America, the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures at Harvard, and the Harvard Dramatic Club. It is the third of four evening meetings which are being held at Harvard during February and March, in commemoration of the life and works of Goethe, who died March 22, 1882. The fourth address will be given on March 22 by Bliss Perry, Francis Lee Higginson Professor of English Literature, Emeritus on the subject "The Road to Weimar".
Though it is as a dramatist that Hauptmann is chiefly known, he has written a number of novels and short stories and is the composer of several verse-dramas and epics.
