Owen J. Roberts, former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, will deliver the Oliver Wendell Holmes Lectures this year, it was disclosed recently. The lectures, t be given January 30, 31, and February 1 in the Langdell Courtroom, will deal with aspects of constitutionalism. No admission will be charged and the public is invited.
Roberts has titled his three talks: Sovereignty and the Power to Tax; Conflicts of the Police Power; and The 14th Amendment.
These lectures, given not more often than once every three years, were made possible by a bequest of the late Justice Holmes.
The last Holmes lecture was given in 1947 by Herbert Vere Evatt, one time foreign minister of Australia and justice of the High Court there. He spoke on the U.N. and its formation. In 1942, Hans Kelson, visiting lecturer on Government, delivered the lectures, on law and peace.
