The first of the William Belden Noble lectures which this year will deal with "The Ethics of Jesus" will be given by the Rev. Henry Churchill King, D.D., LL. D., president of Oberlin College, in the Fogg Lecture Room, at 8 o'clock this evening. Dr. King will consider as an introduction to his subject in today's lecture, "Critical Position; Limitation of Theme; the Teaching as a Whole; Amount and Permanence of Ethical Teaching."
All six lectures of the series will be open to the public. The second will be given tomorrow evening on the subject. "The Ethical Teaching in Schmiedel's 'Foundation Pillar' Passages, and in the 'Doubly Attested Sayings'; Criteria."
Dr. King received an honorary A.M. from Harvard in 1883, and has since then held successive professorships in mathematics, philosophy and theology at Oberlin. He has written many books on theological subjects.
The fund which provides for the Noble lectures was presented to the University in 1898 by Mrs. William Belden Noble in memory of her husband, an Episcopal clergyman of the class of 1885, and of Phillips Brooks with whom Mr. Noble was in close sympathy.
