BUREAU OF LECTURES AND SHORT COURSES

ROBERT B. DUNCAN, CHIEF

Purpose. For instruction and platform inspiration in communities
where the lyceum need exists, the Bureau of Lectures and Short Courses
organizes and supplies local programs.

ScoPE OF SERVICE. The University offers through this department:
(1) single lectures or series of such lectures; (2) lecture, concert, recital,
or reading programs, or a miscellaneous combination of these. Such pro-
grams are offered with the definite purpose of developing better taste and
higher standards with reference to public entertainments, and an appre-
ciation of art, music, and literature by presenting examples.

LEcTURES. The field covered by the lecture course is a wide one, in-
cluding topics in education, history, geography and travel, political economy,
political science, sociology, business administration, the history and litera-
ture of ancient and modern peoples, including Greek and Roman, Scandi-
navian, German, Semitic, French, and English life and letters, the physical
Sciences, engineering branches, forestry, and physical training. Bulletins
containing detailed information will be sent upon request.

TEACHERS’ CONVENTIONS AND INSTITUTES. The Extension Division will
provide speakers for these meetings as far as the regular work of the Uni-
versity will permit.

COMMENCEMENT ADDRESSES. This department arranges for commence-
ment addresses to be delivered by members of the university staff and others
available in this service. The charges will be arranged in each case, for the
speaker desired, through the Extension Division.

SHORT COURSES AND INSTITUTES. A short course or institute is an in-
tensive training program or course ranging in duration from one day to
two weeks. The program consists of a specialized series of lectures, discus-
sions, and demonstrations directed by leading speakers and teachers secured
from the faculty of the University and from the state and country at large.

SPECIAL OCCASION LECTURES. This department furnishes speakers for
special occasions, such as memorial and dedication exercises, convocation
addresses in schools, and for commercial organizations, and civic and
women’s clubs.

EXPENSES. The local expenses include hall rent and advertising in the
local papers, and the lantern and operator, where the lecture is illustrated.
Full information concerning lecturers’ fees will be supplied on application.
