Wilder Views Thoreau

Thornton Wilder will discuss "Thoreau or the Bean-Row in the Wilderness" as his second Charles Eliot Norton lecture of the term at 8 p.m. tonight in the New Lecture Hall.

Last week's Norton lecture, on "Adapting an Island Language to a Continental Thought," attracted a capacity crowd to the New Lecture Hall. Wilder's most recent project has been assisting in the H.D.C. production of his play, "The Skin of Our Teeth," which opened in Sanders Theatre last night.
