WALZ TO TALK ON GOETHE IN LAST AUTHORS LECTURE

Speaks in Emerson D at 4.30 This Afternoon

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor John Albrecht Walz, Professor of the German Language and Literature, will lecture on "Goethe" today at 4.30 in Emerson D. This is the last of the five lectures of the series on ancient and modern authors planned primarily for students concentrating in fields of ancient and modern literatures.

The subjects of the four preceding lectures of the series were "Dante", "Milton", "Sophocles", and "Virgil".

Professor Walz will bring out the striking aspects of Goethe's character as seen in his works, and will discuss his attitude towards life, his religious ideas and his theory of self-culture.

Professor Walz, who has studied at the University of Berlin, took his A. B. degree at Northwestern University in 1892 and his Ph.D. five years later at Harvard. A member of the Modern Language Association of America and of the Folk Lore Society, he is known as an author for his numerous contributions to philological journals.
