United States Local Government To Be Topic of Godkin Lecture--Will Give This Locality as Example

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Giving the second of the Godkin lectures on United States Government, Murray Seasongood '00, professor of Law at the University of Cincinnati, and former mayor of Cincinnati, will speak this afternoon at 4 o'clock in Emerson D on "Local Government in the United States, a Challenge and an Opportunity." Having traced the movement for reform in Cincinnati and Hamilton County, Ohio to 1923 in his first lecture given Monday, Mr. Seasongood will explain this afternoon the political regeneration of this locality as an example of successful reform in local government.

The Godkin lectures are delivered under an endowment given in 1903 in memory of Edward L. Godkin, founder of the Nation, for the delivery and publication of annual lectures upon "The Essentials of Free Government and the Duties of the Citizen." The lectures this year deal particularly with the problems of local Government in the United States. The remaining lectures of the series will be given on Friday, Monday, and Wednesday, December 2, 5, and 7.
