Two eminent authorities in English, both of whom come from outside the United States, will lecture in the University summer school, it was announced yesterday.
Professor William Alexander Craigie, LL.D., D.Ltt. of Oxford University, England, will give courses in the history of the English language, a field in which he is the most distinguished living authority. Since the death of Sir James Murray, Professor Craigie has been the editor in charge of the Oxford English Dictionary. He is coming to Chicago to undertake the preparation of another great dictionary dealing with the English language as it is written and spoken in America. Professor Craigie is also the author of numerous works on the English language and on English, Scottish, and Scandinavian literature.
The other lecturer is Archibald MacMechan, Ph.D., LL.D., Professor of English literature at Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia. In the Summer School, he will give courses on Shakespeare, Carlyle, and Tennyson. Professor MacMechan, a writer of distinction, and one of the best teachers of English in Canada, received his Doctor's degree in this country at Johns Hopkins University.
