He has also tendered the facilities of the Harvard Union for the serving, of luncheon on both days. The other speakers at the session will be the Reverend Michael J. Ahern and Rabbi Harry Levi.
The seminar, which is modelled on the lines of a similar meeting held at Columbia University on January 30 and 31 of this year, will be sponsored by the Calvert Round Table of Boston, a group of approximately 100 representative laymen of different religious beliefs. The seminar to be held at Harvard is the first activity of the organization, whose membership list is made up of individuals outstanding in many lines of endeavor in Boston and vicinity.
