LECTURE COURSE PROSPECT.

2 Ii the people respond as they I'M
doubtedly Will Denison will have its
| hest lecture course this year. There
was considerable dissatisfaction with
| the course last year Which no one felt
more keenly that did the members of
4 the committee. They have resolved
this year to have the very best or none
Ill all. There will be five numbers on
the course and each will be gem. The
course will open with an ENTERTAINMENT
BY the Boston. Ladies' Sypnaphony Or

viii give TO Denison people one of the
irarest of musical treats. Mr.. Carl
iCrance, the eminent 5basso of New Y DIRK
city, is the soloist. 1t is expected thus

4 liant opening and then to maintain the

l. The second number will be a lecture

deliver is famous one, the Sunny
Side of Life.
A number of Denison people have
heard this lecturer and they are unit
in pronouncing him one of the most
eloquent and helpful platform orators

!! ,Rovcge6ters. The chief of the Roy
croft workers, Ebert Hubbard, VIII
give the fourth of the series. He is the
4 editor ofxthe Wonderful little magazine;
a The Philistine. &4Ie is one Of the great
literary lights of the country, a man
who has lfnade an impression upon the
thought ofYtthe century. The Cedar
Rapids Republican says that not since
+ the days Of Wendell Phillips has there
been such an impressive orator on the
I,AiaericaaE lecture platform. The Mad
. rigal club will give the fifth and clos
ing number. The Madrisal. club is but
new name for the SmYthe= Bracken
lquartette which so delighted our people
last year. We 9believei Denison would
) like to hear them again and that this
{ number will be zone of the best Of the
6 Eseason, It Iwin lbeHseen that the com
I nitteeF has decided that lis quality
more than numbers that the people
) want and they have selected nothing
but the best The lecture course ever
with it's hisappointments at times has
been a great factor in Denison Deni-
f son is one of the purest morally anc
: one of the highest Intellectually of any

u is Just such am influence as .thatiof the

4 thought The cornpnittee has until tn,
s fist Of September to make the canvass
t Iof the town and See II enough season
s tickets can be sold to Warrant TIN
e tlarge expense, which the course will
S entail. We feel that there is no doub
g as to what the people of Denison will
y do: AS one man said II want m,

d ences and / believe the lecture cours
g to be one of the best of Denison's in
