Students will be admitted and the program will be rebroadcast over the Crimson Network.
Speaking in the forum, Alvin H. Hansen Lucius N. Littauer Professor of Political Economy, William E. Hocking '01, Alford Professor of Natural Religion, Moral Philosophy and Civil Polity, C. Crane Brinton '19, associate professor of History, and Thomas Matters '43, president of the Student Council, will discuss the sacrifices which groups and individuals must make to win the war.
Mather as Moderator
Is the absence of George V. Denny, Town Meeting's regular Moderator, Kirtley F. Mather, professor of Geology and Director of the Summer School, will take his place.
Professor Hansen, who is chairman of the Board of Joint Economic Warfare and special economic adviser to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, is expected to define the economic sacrifices we must undergo, and discuss various tax proposals.
Professor Hocking is expected to discuss the need for a spiritual as well as a military victory and to consider the role of philosophy as a basis for national morale. Professor Brinton will uphold the point of view that labor, management and government have still further specific sacrifices ahead which each must make before the war can finally be won, while Matters, representing the viewpoint of a person of military age who is not yet in the Army, will spend some time discussing what young people of high school age can do to help in the war effort.
