Mr. Louis Dembitz Brandeis L. '77 will give the third lecture in the Progressive Movement Series in New Lecture Hall this afternoon at 4.30 o'clock. The special subject of this lecture will be "Social Justice and the Trusts." The lecture will be open only to members of the University.
Mr. Brandeis has won a national reputation as counsel for progressive causes, having been largely responsible for the recognition of the Oregon ten hour law by the Supreme Court. He was chief counsel for the committee which investigated the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy at Washington, and later was appointed counsel for the shippers in the famous railroad rate cases before the Interstate Commerce Commission. Mr. Brandeis's work as a political reformer and his efforts against various forms of social and political injustice have won wide recognition, and the Committee feels itself especially fortunate in securing him to speak before the University in the series of lectures which is attracting such attention in the College.
