 The people of our community were again favored last Wednesday night by a lecture of great merit, the second in our winters course given at Me- morial hall, by Glenn Frank, assist ant president of the Northwestern In- stitute of Chicago, on the subject, The good, wrong man." After the recent superb delivery of MT. Wicker sham, some felt we could not expect such a treat as he gave us, but popular opinion seems to indicate strongly that the lecture of MT. Frank ranks we'll with it. It is no easy task to discuss the great questions of the day, which affect the rich and poor, in utter fairness to all, as did the speak er, nor to so clearly discern and so forcefully, naturally, and in so at- tractive way present the good and the i'll, and the way to the best. Rarely is presented in so convincing a way the need of a civic conscience as was shown by the speaker. We the public, as we'll as the committee in charge of the course, on the high standard of these lectures. Surely a few such as these will con- vince even the thoughtless of the great worth in instruction, entertain nent and inspiration which the ideal lecture offers.
