The William Belden Noble Lectures for the year 1931 will be delivered by the Reverend Mr. R. M. Jones, professor of philosophy, Haverford College. The lectures will be open to the public and will be given in Emerson D at 8 o'clock at night, extending over the period from Tuesday, April 21 to Friday, May 1.
The Noble lectures were founded in 1897 by Mrs. W. B. Noble in memory of her husband, who was an Episcopal clergyman. Her purpose in establishing the fund for these lectures was to continue the mission of her husband as a minister, and to arouse the interest of Harvard students in the Christian ministry.
Professor Jones will use as his general subject "Mysticism and Democracy in the English Commonwealth Period." He is a prominent educator and author of many books on theological and philosophical subjects. He was graduated from Haverford College, and after studying at the University of Heidelberg, he received the degree of A.M. from Harvard in 1901 and D.D. in 1922. In the same year he received the degree of LL.D. from both Swarthmore and Haverford. He is a trustee of Bryn Mawr College, president of the board since 1916, and of Brown University, while he has held his present professorship since 1904.
