Curry and the matter of his addressing the

distinguished speaker as DIR. Curry, or
lis peer even. Lectures in the daytime
we're an anomaly. Men who lecture for a
were forced TO select the
nighttime in order TO get an audience.
Mr.. Anderson, OF Richmond, said he
fered the original resolution, and named

)r. Curry would have better audience.
