WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE TO LECTURE ON "WEST"

William Allen White, editor of the Emporia, Kansas "Gazette", and one of America's most famous newspapermen, will give three public lectures in the New Lecture Hall, on April 24, April 25, and May 1.

The subject of the series will be "The Changing West," and the topics of the individual lectures, "What Was the West?"; "Why Is the West?"; and "How Will the West Survive?".

The University Committee on the Extra-Curricular Study of American History is sponsoring the lectures, which are a part of their program.

Editor is World Famed

Editor and proprietor of the "Gazette" since 1895, the Emporia Sage is world famed for his editorials. He has written a number of books, the latest of which is "Puritan in Babylon," published last year.

An international broadcast is planned for the lectures over shortwave station W1XAR on a frequency of 11.73 megacycles.

Appointed by President Conant to promote the study of American history not only among the students of the University but also among the public, the American History Committee last year presented public lectures by Felix Frankfurter, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and Bernard DeVoto, author and critic.
