Famous Socialist Will Give Four Different Talks Tomorrow
TO BE AT CONVOCATION
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1930
Lecturer Will Address Forum Students of Journalism and Sociology
Facing a full day of lecturing to various student groups, Norman Thomas, author, lecturer, sociologist, professor at the University of Wisconsin, Friday morning at 10 Mr. Thomas will speak at an all-University convocation on the subject, "The Future of Our Times." After convocation he will talk to some of the journalism classes and at 12:30 p.m. he will be the speaker at the meeting with Ms. Y-M.W.Y.C. A. organizations. His topic at the forum will be "Bank and Reality in American Politics." At 2:50 Friday he will address the sociology classes.
Chancellor Praises Speaker
According to quotations from various well-known men, those who take advantage of the opportunity to bear Mr. Thomas, Friday, will have or rare a chance to make friends with Norman Thomas is a national figure unusually equipped to speak on economic and international problems, passionate and even brilliant in his presentation of vital social and international problems", says James G. Brown. "Norman Thomas is an active sociologist," I know of few men who have as great power to stir the imagination and to convince the intelligence of small groups or large
Prof. Robert Morris Lovett of the University of Chicago considers Mr. Thomas to be one of the best speakers in the world and he solutively sincere and always what his believes; he has a large body of information and experience from his academic career, nicely he has an imposing bearing and a rich, pleasing voice." Prof. Love
Further praise of the ability to norm, Roberts as a speaker comes from Theological Seminary, of which Mr. Thomas is a graduate. Doctor Ward Thomas has taught at Theological Seminary as a speaker include a command of an unusual range of facts and a variety of situations which he experiences. To those be added a quite unual capacity for fundamental reasoning with a fairness and reasonableness which again are not often found in his experience. I consider him a speaker of force and distinction, qualified to discuss public affairs as are but few
Will Lead Forum Discussion
"A speaker of unusual gifts" is the opinion of Dr. Henry W. Neumann, of the Brooklyn Ethical Culture Society, holds of Mr. Thomas, a philosopher who is known which are the result of both a high spiritual purpose and a scholarly study of the facts with which he deals. His presentation is forceful because it is simple, unaffected, clear and warmth, as asserts Doctor Neumann.
The home of Mr. Thomas is in New York City. He now devotes most of his time in his office as executive chairman of the Democratic, and to contributing articles to such publications as The Nation, World Tomorrow, and the New Leader. Many will remember him as president in the election of 1928.
Mr. Thomas can be drawn into open discussion on intelligent questions if the occasion will permit during the noon forum. It has been the policy of the forums committee in the past to avoid questioning its occasion if enough time was available.
