The series of lectures on the war was instituted at the beginning of the year by a committee composed of members of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. The purpose of this action was to provide a weekly talk for the University by a speaker acquainted with some phase of the war. The step was prompted by the prevailing it orange as to the events which are in progress in Europe and the obvious necessity for men, particularly those in the R. O. T. C., to become informed of the conditions among the armies on the Western Front.

Although no announcement has yet been issued concerning the future schedule of lectures, the series will be resumed after Mr. Roosevelt's talk on Monday, and will continue throughout the remainder of the year. Wednesday evening will again be the time set aside for the subsequent lectures. Dean Haskins, of the Graduate Schools, is the chairman of the committee chosen from the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to have general supervision of the entire series.
