Harry Hibschman
ARE WE GOING BACK
TO The JUNGLE p
Harry Hibschman Challenge
Lecturer.

The lecture, care We Going Back
to the Jungle?" to be given on the
third evening, is timely, thought
provoking and unique in subject,
material and treatment. 1t deals
with the dangers that numerous
earnest prophets of despair contend
threaten our civilization. Their
writings and utterances are analy-
zed, their warnings described and
their suggested remedies examined
and weighted. In words so simple
and with illustrations so illuminat-
ing as to be within the grasp Of a
child, there are discussed the final
fundamental factors the acceptance
or rejection of which will determine
whether our civilization lives or
dies-whether mankind continues
to climb or return to the cave and
to the jungle.
Every person attending the pro-
gram is handed a printed outline
of the lecture as he arrives. In
this outline are cited many late
books bearing on the subject, and
with it are printed a number of
questions to be used after the lee
ture when the audience is invited
to take part in an open forum and
to call for answers to the printed
questions or to any others pertinent
to the subject.
Among the questions are such as
(a) Are members of the white race
inherently superior to those of
other races? (b) Do the move
ments for 100% Americanism help
in the solution of the problems un-
der discussion? (c) What exactly is
the meaning of the Modernist-Fun-
damentalist controversy? (d) Can
a person consistently accept evOlu-
tion and retain his religious faith?
(e) Is anti-evolutiOn legislation,
like that of Tennessee, constitution
al? (f) Are science and religion in
conflict?
The Billboard on the page devot-
ed to the Platform, recently called
this outline, "a vein of gold that is
of true value" and said of it, "As
an aid in assisting the hearers to
assimilate the lecture it is superb"
The speaker is Harry Hibschman
a student of nature, lawyer by
training, and a Chuatauqua lecturer
by choice and personal dedication.
He has appeared in many Canadian
provinces. He has contributed ar
ticles to the Outlook, Current His
tory, the Homiletic Review, the
Christian Register, and other per
iodicals and has been quoted at
length by the Literary Digest.
Mr.. Hibschman is outspOken but
not dogmatie, fearless but not pug
nacious. He is intolerant IF preju-
dice and ignorance but holds no
personal rancor. He attacks with
out mercy cherished opinions and
ideas and challenges men to think;
but he does it with a spirit of kind
ness and fairness that win for him
the approval and admiration even
of those who cannot accept his COR !
clusiOns.
Prof. Leroy F. Jackson, of the |
Stanley Mccormick School, in North |
Carolina, recently said of him.
Or Hibschman makes folks think |
and actually get them to like it. |
I've never seen him fail. For weeks |
after he has left the town his audi |
ences go about debating the ques-
tions he has raised in his addresses
In his lectures and magazine arti-
Gle he is making a vital contribu-
ton to contemporary American
thought, and his visit to a college
community is a delightful stimula-
ton to both faculty and students"
