Rev. William Elliot Griffis will deliver the fourth anniversary Dudleian lecture this evening at 7.30 in Appleton Chapel.

Paul Dudley, chief justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Court left a bequest in 1750 of Pound23 to be used in giving a series of lectures on religious subjects. The lectures were given each year from 1753-1857. They were then discontinued till four years ago.

The lectures in the past have been somewhat too technical to prove very attractive to the average college man. The one today however is less difficult. The subject is as follows: "The maintaining, explaining and proving the validity of the ordination of ministers or Pastors of the churches, and to their administration of the sacraments or ordinances of religion as the same bath been practiced in New England."
