Professor M. H. Morgan gave the third of his series of lectures on the history of classical studies yesterday afternoon in Harvard 1. His subject was "The Revival of Learning in the Fifteenth Century." Professor Morgan led up to his discussion by a short summary of the men who were the forerunners of the change. The Renaissance, he said, was a general resurrection of European intellect. At first, foreign teachers only undertook to instruct the people in the classics, but later the Italians themselves took up the work. The influence of the Medici was great. Not only manuscripts, but even statuary and coins were eagerly sought for. Towards the end of this period the art of printing was discovered and was destined to make a great revolution in the reproduction of manuscripts.
Professor Morgan's third lecture will be given tomorrow in Harvard 1 at 3.30 o'clock. His subject will be, "The French Period, Sixteenth Century."
