ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1927 EIGHT PAGES POPULAR PHILOSOPHER TO PRESENT LECTURE ON- PROGRESS TONIGHT MR,, W1L.4 IRANT, I'ROFESSOI,4 LE CTIE 11, AND AUTHOR, IS SPEAKER FIRST LOCALAPPEARANCE His Teetares I1ave (ained Wide-Spread Ielputation For Attracting Capacity Audiences Speaking I Hill auditorium tonight at 8 o'clock on the Oratorical lecture series course, Dr. Will Durant, philos- opher, lecturer, and author, will take as the subject of his address, "Is Pro- gress a Delusion?" It will be Dr. Durant's first appearance in Ann Arbor. Formerly connected with the depart- ment of philosophy at Columbia uni- versity Dr. Durant soon became widely recognized as a lecturer of note, many of his talks being delivered at Labor Temple, maintained by the Presby- terian church in New York. Among the many lectures which Dr Durant became accustomed to giving outside of the university was one on "Spinoza," which he delivered on one occasion in the Labor Temple. This address led to the forniation,of two classes ,under Dr. Durant which met at the Labor Temple every week for 40 weeks in the year. Average Attendance 1,000. The approximate attendance at these lectures was 1,000 per week,' over a period of eight years, and it is said that these two classes now have a combined attendance .of 1,600 per- sons every week. Out of these lectures came Labor Temple School-an insti- tution which has won such a place for itself in the educational life of the metropolis that its annual dinners have become the intellectual event of every season, and the gathering place of such speakers as John Dewey, Felix Adler, Stephen Wise, t4arry Emerson Fosdick, John Haynes Holmes, Hendrick Van Loon and others. As a result of his speeches in the Labor Temple, Dr. Durant has gained for himself the recognition of being one of the most brilliant lecturers on the American platform today. In 191 Dr. Durant broke all records of the Bureau of Lectures of the Board ,of Education in New York when he gave a series of 20 address on psychol- ogy at Wadleigh High School which drew capacity audiences of 1,300 to each lecture throughout the entire course. He has given several com- plete courses for the Kansas City Uni- versity Extension, his audiences there in 1920 growing from 450 at the first lecture to 850 at the fourth. In 1923 he gave 40 addresses in 35 Flays in Kansas City, nearly all in the same hall, and drew an average attendance of 860.J Has Lectured Often.k Dr. Durant has also attracted large audiences at Copper Union, the Brook- lyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, the Brooklyn Y.M.C.A., the Jewish Centers in Brooklyn and Cleveland, O., the Emil G. Hirsch center in Chicago, Ford Hall and the Old South Church is Boston, Athe People's Church of Cincinnati, the Buffalo Historical So- ciety, the Milwaukee Open Forum and the Dallas Forum. Dr. Durant's book -published last year, and composed largely of lectures given at Labor Temple, became the best-selling non-fiction book in Amer- ica within three weeks of its publica- tion. His talk tonight on "Is Progress a Delusion," is said by many to be Dr. Durant's best platform lecture. The box office will be open tonight at 7 o'clock, according to Carl G. Brandt, of the speceh department, who is finance manager of the course, andI the lecture will start promptly at 8 o'clock. Government Forest Expert Will Speak Before Local Club Major Evan W.

BAKER TO SPEAK SAT' CONVOCATION SUNDAY MORNING At the final convocation of the fall series in H1ill auditorium next Sun- day morning, Hon. Newton D. Baker, ex-secretary of war, will deliver theI address. His subject has not yet been announced. Baker, who for many years has held a leading place in the legal profes- sion in Cleveland, O., has always bee a public figure, both local and na- tional. He held the position of city solicitor of Cleveland for 10 years and the office of mayor in the same city for four years. He was appoint- ed Secretary of War by Woodrow Wil- son in 1916 and served in that capac- ity until 1921.- All plans for the convocation are in the hands of a special committee appointed by Clarence Cook Little. The committee is assisted in its worka by Dr. Frank E. Robbins, assistant iUSTAINS0BADlY [RACTURED0 LEG ENNETI! WITIOW11, 1UNIVERSITY MOTORCYCLE POLICEMAN, STRUCK BY CAR c. F.

Barnum it time intersection of Packard and Jill streets. Is Student, Instructor. Barnum, who is a graduate student in the University and an instructor in the Architectural college, was driv- ng his car north on Packard street and attempted to turn west onto Hill, making a left turn across tie south- bound lane of traffic. Barnum said he did not see Withrow approaching Mint on Packard. Withrow attempted o dodge Barnumm's car but failed, crashing into it and being thrown to the pavement. His motorcycle fell on top of his left leg causing three fractures and a. skin wound. Barn- um's car was damaged to some extent, but the motorcycle was practically "ninjred. Barnum assisted Withrow, who was not unconscious, into his car and took him to the University hospital where he was attended by Dr. Cushing. Later in the evening Dr. Cushing reported that Withrow had suffered a fracture of the left tibia, fractures in two places of the left fibula, and a deep puncture wound Iii the lower leg. He was admitted to the hospital as a patient. When interviewed a few hours afte the accident, Barnum said that he was fully insured against liability in case suit.shouhd be brought by Withrow or by the University, and that he did not wish to make a statement concerning responsibility for the collision before getting in touch with his insurance company. TIe said that lie did not see Withrow approaching. Speedometer Registers Speed. An examination of Withrow's motor- cycle after the accident revealed that the speedometer had jammed at 35 miles an hour. Whether the officer was prtceeding at that speed or whether the speedometer was jarred to that position in the collision can only be conjectured. Withrow has been in the employ- ment of the University since Septen- ber when the new ruling of the Reg- eits concerning student-operated au- tomobiles went in force. H-e is a state officer, being attached to the Michigan State Police under the direc- tion of the State Commissioner of Public Safety.
