have contributed largely toward the de-
velopment of the fields of science which
they represent. Every effort will be made
to secure continuity and homogeneity of
treatment, in order that the published
lectures may unite into an adequate and
well balanced description OF evolution in
the broadest sense.
The lecturers chosen will be able to
eliminate unessential technicalities and to
present their subjects clearly and intelli-
gibly to general audiences. The series
on evolution should therefore appeal to
a large public. interested in the broader
aspects of science but not necessarily
familiar with its special methods or tech
nical details.
The lectures will be open to the public
without charge.
