Under the auspices of the Social Service Committee, Rev. William Goodell Frost., D.D., Ph.D., president of Berea College, Kentucky, will speak this evening at 8 o'clock in the Fogg Lecture Room on "A Mountain College on the Fighting Line." Dean Ames of the Law School will introduce the speaker.
After leaving Oberlin College in 1876, where he was professor of Greek for some years after graduation Dr. Frost studied for a short time at Harvard and at Gottingen University, Germany. Since becoming president of Berea College in 1893 he has made distinctive work of adapting educational methods to conditions in the Southern mountains. The college which was formerly an institution for the education of negroes as well as the "poor whites" living in the corners of eight states along the Alleghany and Blue Ridge Mountains, is endeavoring to do for the people of that region what the Tuskegee and Hampton Institutes are doing for the negroes in the South.
The lecture will be open to the public.
