The Thursday Lectures The second annual series of "The Thursday Lectures"-instituted last year as the fulfillment of the dream of the University's first Chancellor, Orson Spencer-was completed this year. The twenty-six lectures, given at 11:15 a.m. Thursday in the Orson Spencer Hall Auditorium, were well-attended by students, faculty members, and the public.

His subject I was "An Intellectual Imperative." |f The weekly Thursday Lectures featured topics varying from anthropology to athletics.
