Toynbee Talks Today in First Hewitt Speech

Arnold J. Toynbee, renowned historian and scholar, will discuss "Criteria for Comparisons Between Religions" this afternoon at 4 in Sanders Theatre in the first of four Hewitt Lectures. The addresses, which will be given alternately at 4 and 8 p.m. in Sanders, will continue through Thursday.

Toynbee's appearance here last fall caused a near-riot as an overflow crowd of 5,000 demonstrated outside the theater. Demonstrators, gathering in lines from Sanders to Littauer Center, scaled Memorial Hall fire escapes and broke into the Psychological Clinic beneath the stage in attempts to enter the meeting.
