Rev. Charles Fletcher Dole '68 will deliver this year's Ingersoll lecture in the New Lecture Hall next Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. His subject will be "Hope of Immortality--Our Reasons for It."
Mr. Dole took his master's degree in 1870, and graduated from the Andover Theological Seminary in 1872. He was then for one year professor of Greek in the University of Vermont. In 1874 he accepted a position as minister in Portland, Maine. Since 1876 he has been minister of the First Congregational Church of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. Among Mr. Dole's writings are: "The Citizen and the Neighbor," "Jesus and the Men About Him," "The American Citizen," "The Golden Rule in Business," "Luxury and Sacrifice," "The Theology of Civilization," "The Problem of Duty," and "The Spirit of Democracy."
The Ingersoll lectureship was founded by the will of Miss Caroline Haskell Ingersoll, of Keene, N. H., who died in 1893. Provision was made for the annual delivery and publication of a lecture upon the general subject of "The Immortality of Man." Last year Professor Ostwald of the University of Leipzig spoke on "Individuality and Immortality."
