SARTON TO GIVE COLVER LECTURES AT BROWN

Dr. George Sarton, Lecturer on the History of Science, has been chosen to deliver the Colver Lectures at Brown University this spring on "The New Humanism." This series of three lectures, to be published later in the year, will not interrupt any of Dr. Sarton's courses at Harvard.

Dr. Charles Homer Haskins, Gurney Professor of History and Political Science, delivered the same lectures in 1923. These were established in 1916 by a trust fund of $10,000 with the intention of calling only upon men with a definite contribution to some phase of science or culture.

"The New Humanism" is an expression first used by Dr. Sarton fifteen years ago. It is the movement to humanize science by studying it from the historical point of view as an essential part of human culture. Dr. Sarton's lectures will probably deal more particularly with the history of science and the fact that human progress is to be told in terms of increase of knowledge.

Dr. Sarton is at present at work completing the second volume of his History of Science. The material that he has collected, however, is so much that the second volume will necessarily be split up into two parts.
