FIRESIDE LEARNING

Professor Garrod carries on a pleasant tradition in setting aside an afternoon each week to meet and talk informally with men in the University. Scholars such as the Charles Eliot Norton chair brings to Cambridge have much to give which cannot find effective presentation in set lectures. The sort of education and culture which finds its highest expression in a cultivated social intercourse is admittedly more fully developed on the other side of the Atlantic than it is on this newer continent, and visiting professors can add richness and color to a college training by helping American educational institutions to a fuller appreciation of its value.
