Fifteen Harvard professors and instructors will give courses of lectures in the Lowell Institute this year. Five of the twelve public lecture courses on popular subjects given in Huntington Hall will be by Harvard men and all of the six Kings Chapel courses on current problems in theology.

The first course by a Harvard professor will be one on "The National Powers; the Rights of the States; the Liberties of the People," by F. J. Stimson '76, professor of comparative legislation in the Law School and formerly advisory counsel to the United States Industrial Commission. These lectures will be given in Huntington Hall on Tuesdays and Fridays at 8 P. M., beginning on Tuesday, October 15.

Professor Josiah Royce of the philosophy department will give six lectures on "The Philosophy of Loyalty," on Mondays and Thursdays, beginning Monday, November 18.

Professor M. H. Morgan '81, professor of classical philology, will give eight lectures on "The Private Life of the Romans," on Wednesdays and Saturdays at 8, beginning Wednesday, January 8, 1908.

Professor T. W. Richards '86, of the chemistry department, will give a course of eight lectures on "The Early History and Recent Developments of the Atomic Theory," on Mondays and Thursdays, beginning on Monday, February 17.

Moore on "The Nature of Christianity in the Far East." Professor G. F.
