WHITEHEAD GIVES ADDRESS TONIGHT IN BAKER LIBRARY

Topic, "Study of the Past; Its Uses and Its Dangers"--Small Dinner Planned Beforehand at Faculty Club

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A. N. Whitehead, professor of Philosophy, will give the first of a series of five addresses, scheduled as a part of the celebration of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Business School, at 8 o'clock this evening in the Baker Library at the Business School. His topic will be: "The Study of the Past; Its Uses and Its Dangers."

The Professor will be the guest of honor at an informal dinner given in the main dining room of the Faculty Club by Philip Cabot '94, professor of Public Utility Management. The guests will include mostly Boston business men who are planning to attend the address afterwards.

More particularly, the speech will deal with the change in social conditions during the past 25 years, and the effect of this change upon individualism. It is understood that he will also talk about the business problems of today.

Tickets, which may be obtained by anyone connected with the University, are at the Information Desk in Morgan Hall. It was learned last night at the Business School that a great many tickets have already been applied for and that the Library will probably be filled for the occasion. The chairman of the meeting will be Professor Cabot who will also introduce the speaker.

The purpose of these addresses is to discuss the future of business education in its constantly changing relation to social and economic problems of the day. On Friday, April 21, W. R. Whitney, formerly Director of Research, General Electric Company, will speak on "The Relation of Science to Industry." On Friday, April 28, Sidney Hillman, president of Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, will speak on "A Shorter Working Day and a Minimum Wage" and Spencer Miller, Jr., secretary of Workers' Educational Bureau of America on "The Challenge to Labor of the New Leisure." On Friday, May 5, F. M. Davenport, congressman from New York, will speak on "The Magnitude of the Politician's Task."
