BRESLAU PROFESSOR TO TALK ON REVOLUTIONS

COMMON LAW AND CONSTITUTION WILL BE STUDIED

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Eugen Rosenstock, professor of the History of Law, and of Constitutional and Legal History, in the University of Breslau, in Germany, has accepted an invitation from Harvard officials to give a series of lectures, in the Government department, on revolutions. He will arrive either on Saturday or Sunday, November 18 or 19, on the Hamburg-American liner, the "Deutschland."

Professor Rosenstock was given a leave of absence from the University of Breslau for the express purpose of engaging in research work concerning the American Revolution, and the influence of common law on American constitutional ideas. He has written several books on different subjects; the most important of these is that entitled "Revolutions in European History," while others include, "Age of the Church," and "The Problem of Adult Education." None of these have been translated into English. Before the war, he studied at King's College, and was later associated with Toynbee Hall, in London, an organization similar to Hull House in Chicago, which is engaged in bringing more culture to the inhabitants of the eastern side of the city. During the war, he was located in the front-line trenches as a German officer, and it is because of this service that he has not been ousted from his professorship, although he is of Jewish descent.

Upon his arrival in Cambridge, Professor Rosenstock will live in Dunster House as the guest of Carl J. Friedrich, associate professor of Government. Later, it is expected that the University will assign him rooms in Adams House which he will occupy until sometime in March.
