UNIVERSITY LECTURES.During the year 1893-94, Mr. Copeland will give a number of lectures on literature, of which the subjects and the dates will be announced in this Calendar. The chief object of these lectures will be to stimulate interest in books and to suggest lines of reading to such members of the University as desire some knowledge of English Literature without the minute study demanded by the regular courses of instruction.
The first lecture-on Don Quixote and Sancho Panza-will be given in Sever Hall, Monday evening, December 4, at 8 o'clock. The method and the purpose of the whole course will then be explained, and therefore all members of the University are especially asked to be present.
Until further notice, the lectures will be given on successive Monday evenings.
