Lawrence Pearsall Jacks, principal of Manchester College, Oxford and editor of the "Hibbert Journal," will deliver the Dowse Institute lectures on March 21 and 22 in the New Lecture Hall at 8 o'clock, it was announced yesterday by the Trustees of the Institute with the cooperation of Harvard University. The subject of the first talk will be "Religious Difficulties in Early Life," and of the second "Sight-seeing, Time-Thinking, and Religion."
This year's course is one of a long line offered to the people of Cambridge through the generosity of Thomas Dowse, leather-dresser, and book-collector of Cambridgeport, who decades ago bequeathed to the City of Cambridge a fund the income of which was to be spent annually in providing one or more series of talks of highest character on literary or scientific subjects. Among the notable Dowse lecturers in the past have been Edward Everett in 1811, Ralph Waldo Emerson in 1821, Charles Summer in 1830, Wendell Phillips in 1831, and Oliver Wendell Holmes in 1861. In 1927 the course was given by Professor George Lyman Kittredge '82, and in 1928 by Professor A. T. Davison '06.
The lectures are open to the public without charge.
