DEAN BROWN CHOSEN TO SPEAK

TO DELIVER INGERSOLL LECTURE MARCH 31 ON "IMMORTALITY OF MAN"

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Dean Charles R. Brown of Yale University, has been selected to deliver the Ingersoll Lecture for the year on Wednesday, March 31, at 8.00 P. M. in Emerson D, on the subject of "The Immortality of Man."

Dean Brown was graduated from the University of Iowa in 1883, took the degree of A.M. there in 1886, was pastor of a Congregational church at Oakland, California, from 1896 to 1911 and then assumed his present position as Dean of the Divinity School at Yale. He has written a number of books on religious subjects and has given many series of religious lectures at Leland Stanford, Columbia, and Cornell Universities. This year he has preached at the University.

The Ingersoll Lectureship was established in 1894 under the will of Caroline Haskell Ingersoll of Keene, N. H., to provide for one lecture each year on the subject of "The Immortality of Man," a lecture not to form part of the usual college course and the choice of the lecturer not to be limited to any one religious denomination.

Among the noted men who have delivered the Ingersoll Lecture in the past few years have been William James Josiah Royce, and George Herbert Palmer, the three great Harvard philosophers; John Fiske, the historian; and Dr. William Osler.
