To the average student, the college conference tonight will probably be the most interesting of the year. Rev. Professor Alexander V. G. Allen is to speak on "General Reading as an Element in Education," and both the subject and the lecturer deserve a large audience. Too many men, in going through college, specialize and neglect their general reading of good literature - and it is on the importance of this general reading that Professor Allen will lay stress.
Professor Allen is eminently fitted to speak on the subject in question. He has been for a number of years Professor of Ecclesiastical History at the Episcopal Theological School here in Cambridge. He laid the foundations of his wide knowledge of English literature during his residence at the theological school of Andover, at a time when the professors guided rather than directed the intellectual work of the students. Professor Allen has published several books, among which are his "Continuity of Christian Thought" - one of the best known books of the last decade, - and "Jonathan Edwards, "the best written life of the noted divine.
Sever 11 should be filled tonight when Professor Allen speaks.
