The authorities Of Buchte1 college,
In perpetuating the college lecture
course, wish to impress upon the cit
izens of Akron, that although the
course is given primarily for the ben
eft of the students, the general public
are most earnestly solicited to attend
the lectures.
1t is not the object of the course
to compete in any way with the varI-
ous entertainment courses given in the
city, but rather to supplement them.
Only lectures are in the course, and
these are of the very highest order,
by men who have moulded thought
and action in many lines of work.
The list SO far completed includes
the following:

No one who really charishes culture
can afford TO miss this course of lec'
lures. The price of tickets Is within
! the reach of all, and it is hoped that a
large number of citizens will avail
themselves OF this rare opportunity.
| 1t is the earnest desire of those who
have the matter in charge that it will
4 not be necessary to ''peddle tickets y
lThe numbers are certuinly attractive
enough to entice every one. and the
habit of farming out tickets by per.
sonal solicitation Is annoying ana un
buslnesslike. Therefore the college
Ilecture tickets will be sold at stated
places, where all will have easy ac
cess to them, and peddling will only
be resorted to when it is determined
that the people want 10 be thus an
noyed.
