University Press Prints Jackson's Godkin Lectures

The Godkin lectures of the late Robert H. Jackson, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, will be published posthumously this spring.

Edward S. Mason, Dean of the Graduate School of Public Administration, announced yesterday that the manuscripts for the lecture series are being submitted to the University Press for publication. Jackson completed the addresses before he died, Oct. 9.

Jackson's lectures were to have been delivered on the subject, "The Position of the Supreme Court in the American System of Government."

Speaker Still Sought

At the same time, Mason said that he is still seeking a speaker to give a single lecture late in the spring. "It is too late to expect someone to prepare a series of three publishable lectures," he explained.

The single lecture would pertain to the general subject of the Godkin lectures, "The Essentials of Free Government and the Duties of the Citizen." There is no provision in the Godkin endowment which requires that three lectures be delivered.

If no one is found to give the lecture, the Godkin post will be the second visiting lectureship to remain unfilled this year. Earlier this fall, the Corporation voted to omit the Charles Eliot Norton lectureship on poetry until next year.
