Stevenson Wants Delay in Godkins

Adlai E. Stevenson, Godkin lecturer for 1953-54, has asked for a postponement and will probably not deliver his talks until March, Dean Edward S. Mason of the School of Public Administration announced yesterday.

The Godkin lectures in Government are traditionally given in later January.

Stevenson asked for a postponement because of a pressing speaking schedule. The 1952 Democratic presidential candidate recently returned from a trip around the world.

Give Three Lectures

Stevenson, according to Mason, will give the full three lectures. Neither his subject nor the exact date of the talks has been decided upon.

John J. McCloy, former high commissioner to Germany, gave the most recent in the series, which began in 1903. The lectures are named for E. L. Godkin, editor of the New York Evening Post and The Nation.
