David Lilienthal Drops PBK Talk

David E. Lilienthal will not be able to attend Phi Beta Kappa's annual literary exercises, the society announced yesterday. Lilienthal was to have given the Oration on "Freedom in the World of Fears."

Zechariah Chafee, Jr., Langdell Professor of Law, will speak instead on "Freedom and Fear."

At the start of Congressional investigation of the Atomic Energy Commision Lilienthal wrote the society that he might not be able to free himself from his Washington work. This week he telegraphed the society confirming his earlier fears.

The exercises, which are open to the public, are scheduled for Sanders Theater at 11 a.m. Monday, June 20 with Arthur Stanley Pease '02 presiding. Karl J. Shapire of Johns Hopkins University will deliver the Phi Beta Kappa Poem, "Going to School."
