Robert Moses Lectures Here This Afternoon on Governmental Affairs

Robert Moses, Commissioner of Parks for New York City, will speak this afternoon at the New Lecture Hall under the auspices of the Godkin Lecture Foundation. The talk, which is to be open to the public will begin at 4:00 o'clock.

Moses has chosen as the subject of his lecture "Notes on Theory and Practice in Politics." It will be the first of two lectures by Moses on contemporary problems of government; the second will be given here on Friday, May 12.

A member of the Yale class of '09 Moses did graduate work for a year and received a Ph.D. at Columbia before going into public service. He began his career as a municipal investigator in 1913, working his way up through the civil service until he was appointed Park Commissioner by Mayor LaGuardia three years ago.

The Godkin Foundation, which is sponsoring the lectures, was established in 1903 in memory of Edwin L. Godkin.
