Count Hermann Keyserling, fore-
most German philosopher and athor
of "The Travel Diary of a Philoso-
pher," "The Book of Marriage," ad
"The World in the Making" is to
speak on April 19 in Hill auditori-
um, according to 'an announlcemen~t
by the special student- faculty com-
mittee that has taken charge of the
arrangemens for bringing Count;
Keyserling here. His sujet hasI
not yet been announced by the cor-1
mittee.
Count Keyserling is at present on
a. lecture tour of the United States,
this being his secondl visit to this
country. In his tour thus far he has
attracted attention from the press,
scholars, and society, and has addres-
sed packed houses in the largest
cities of the East. His first tour, in
1911, furnished him with material
for the closing chapters of his fam-
ons "Travel Diary of a Philosopher"

Count Keyserling is of Gernman-~
Bal tic descent, his famnily having
held estates in Russian Livonia forI
many centuries under the Czars. Fol-
owing; the evolution his property
was confiscated by the Bolsheviks.

lication of his diary, in 1918, brought
him sudden and universal fame. Hie

ried Princess Bismarck, daughter of
the famous "Iron Chancellor."
The ancestors ,of' Count Keyser-

ander Keyserling, was the founder of
Russian geology, councillor to Czar
Alexander 11, andl leader o tlls
Liberal wing of the sthonian feud-
al nobility. Another of his ances-
tors, Caesarian Keyserling, was an
intimate of Voltaire and Frederick
the Great, and to 'yet another Se-;
bastian Bach dedicated one of his
most beautiful compositions. Im-
manuel Kant, .the father of modern
philosophy, was for many years al
CONRAD'S LATEST
RHylETORIC VO LUME
15 WIDELY USED
Announcement has just been made
b~y the Hloughton M~ifflin Company,
publishers, that the book entitled
"Descriptive and Narrative Writing"1
by Lawrence H. Conrad, o the1
rhetoric department, has been adopt-
ed and is now being used as a text
in about twenty important colleges
and universities, distributed from
Maine to California. Among them
are the Universities of Michigan,
Kansas, M~aine, Illinois, Minnesota,
and New York university, and such
colleges as Wellesley, Oregon Stae,
Earlham, and Olivet. This is even
more remarkable because of the fac
that the hook was not published until
somuo liitle time after the institutions
opened last fall. Mr. Conra's other
books are "The Author's Mind," pub-
lished in 1925, and ''Temper," a
novel, published in 1924 andl again in
1928. This was the firs novel ever
written that dealt with giant Amer-
ican industry.
