WHITEHEAD TO GIVE ANNUAL LECTURE ON IMMORTALITY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Alfred North Whitehead, world reknowned philosopher and mathematician and Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, will give the annual Ingersoll lecture on the Immortality of Man at the Divinity School next April, it was announced yesterday.

He is perhaps best known for his book "Principia Mathematics," which he wrote in 1910 in collaboration with Bertrand Russell. But his own books, "Science and the Modern World," "Adventures of Ideas," and "Nature and Life" have also gained recognition.

Before coming to Harvard in 1924, Professor Whitehead taught mathematics at the University of London and Trinity College in England.

The Ingersoll Lectures were established in 1894 in memory of George G. Ingersoll of the class of 1815.
