First Godkin Lecture at 5.30

Dr. Josef Redlich, professor of History in the University of Vienna, will give the first of the Godkin Lectures for 1910-11 in Emerson D, this afternoon at 5.30 o'clock. The general subject of the lectures is "Austria and Hungary as a Federation," the special topic for today being "The Historical Basis of the Union of Austria and Hungary, 1526-1723." The lectures are open to the public.

These lectures are delivered under an endowment fund given to the University in 1903 by the friends of E. L. Godkin h'71, formerly editor of the Nation, as a memorial of his long and distinguished service to the country of his adoption. The income of the fund is devoted to the delivery and publication of annual lectures upon "The Essentials of Free Government and the Duties of the Citizens," or upon some part of that subject. The lectureship was inaugurated in 1904, by the Rt. Hon. James Bryce h'09, whose subject was "The Study of Popular Governments." In May, 1908, President Eliot delivered the second series of lectures on the subject, "Municipal Government."
