Kennan to Speak Here Next Year

George F. Kennan, noted expert on Russia and international affairs, will give a series of lectures at the University a year from this April.

The former Ambassador to Russia, who is now a professor at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, will stay in Cambridge for about a month at the end of the 1960 spring recess, Myron P. Gilmore, chairman of the History Department, disclosed yesterday.

Kennan will deliver a total of six public lectures--two per week--on a topic not yet decided but expected to be some aspect of foreign affairs. The series will be sponsored by the History Department.
