Arnold J. Toynbee, renowned historian and scholar, will discuss "Criteria for Comparisons Between Religions" this afternoon at 4 in Sanders Theatre in the first of four Hewitt Lectures. The addresses, which will be given alternately at 4 and 8 p.m. in Sanders, will continue through Thursday.

Toynbee's appearance here last fall caused a near-riot as an overflow crowd of 5,000 demonstrated outside the theater.
