 Some five years ago proposals were made to the leading universities in the east to unite with the Lowell Institute of Boston and the Brooklyn Institute in establishing a public lectureship on the historical study of religions In February, 1892, lecture association was organized with the cooperation of eight universities. For reasons which seemed decisive at that time Yale was obliged to decline to participate. Not until the winter of 1S95-'96 did the lec- tureship actually begin, the first series being delivered by T. U. Rhys Davids IL. D., Ph. D., of England, on "The History and Literature of Buddhism" : The committee renewed last summer it's invitation to Yale university, but could not undertake to guarantee a third opportunity. In the judgment of President Dwight and others it was highly desirable that this lectureship, which promises to become of historic importance, should be established at New Haven. Professor Sanders was nominated as the representative of the university on the committee, and defin- ite steps taken to secure the course of lectures for the current college year. The lectures this year are to be given by Professor Daniel G. Brinton, D. D., IL. D., of the department of American Archaeology and LinguiStics in the University of Pennsylvania, the first one of the series being delivered on Monday evening next. The titles of the five lectures are as follows:
 l. "The Scientific Study of Primitive Religions: Their Origin and Sources"
 9 Primitive Religious Expressions: in the Word"
 B. Primitive Religious Expression; in the Object"
 4. Primitive Religious Expression: in the Rite.'
 5. 'The Lines of Development in Primitive Religions
 It may be stated that the lecturer for 1S97'9S will be the Rev. Professor T. K. Cheyne, M A, D. D., of Oxford, on Religious Thought and Life Among the Post-Exilic Hebrews" and the lec- turer for 1S9S'99 Professor Karl Budde of Strassburg, on Religious Thought and Life in Israel Before the Exile" Dr. Brlnton's lectures have already attracted large and popular audiences in Boston and Providence
