NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Dr. Alvin F. Poussaint, associate professor of Psychistry and associate dean for student affairs at the Harvard Medical School, will speak for the second time as the University of Hartford's Keller lecturer next month.

The Keller series, an annual forum which has included politicians, artists and educators as speakers, has been sponsored since 1958 by the family of Alexander S. Keller, a West Hartford industrialist and one of the university's founders.

Poussaint said yesterday he will attempt to explain the "inbred contradictions and the corruption permeating our society."

"Everyone is wondering why out country, a building ground for honesty, should be facing not only the political and social problems it faces currently, but the moral problems as well," he said.
