Operating on the assumption that education may and should go on outside the classroom, Loyola University in recent years has presented to the public a wide-ranging, inultiphased series of lectures designed to broaden the intellectual life of Loyolans. Through this lecture program, Loyola affords the student, and the community at large, an opportunity to sample a wide variety of knowledge. Loyolals lecture program truly pro- vides a mosaic of thought and culture. During the academic year 1959-60, in its Distinguished Professor series, Loyola hosted a group of seven world-renowned scholars whose lecture topics ranged from foreign affairs to the- ories of art, participants in this series included Rev. Bernard J. Dempsey, SJ., and Dr. George N. Shuster, former president of Hunter College. The David B. Steinman Poetry Series brought to Loyola eminent contemporary poets presenting their own works. The Steinman Series this year presented Paul Engle, Robert Penn War- ren, Mark Van Doren, Iohn Crowe Ransom, and Richard Wilbur. LGYCLA LECTURE SERIES The value of the Bible in the pastoral work of priests was dis- cussed in a symposium in November, as second in a series of programs on The Priest in the Modern World. Taking part in the discussion were Rev. J. I. DeVault, S.j. fprofessor of sacred scripture at XVest Badenl, Rev. John L. McKenzie, SJ. Calso pro- fessor of sacred scripture at VVest Badenl, Rev. Roland E. Murphy, O. Carm. fprofessor of Old Testament at Catholic University of Americal, and Rev. Bruce Vawter, C.M. Cprofessor at St. Thomas Seminary in Denver and noted authorl. Mark Van Doren, professor of English at Columbia University and distinguished poet and critic. gave a reading of his poetry in December, as the first of the David B. Steinman Poets. In early spring, Loyola's lecture series pre- sented the symposium on the Ancient City, noted speakers at the symposium included Dr. Thorkild Jacobsen, Dr. William Foxwell Albright, and Rev. Iohn C. McKenzie, SJ. In cooperation with the Chicago Christian Family Movement, Loyola University sponsored a series of five lectures dealing with political life in America. March 18, 1960, saw Loyola pay honor to His Holiness the late Pope Leo XIII with a com- memorative series of lectures, which attempted to analyze the role Leo has had in shaping modern Catholic life. A special series presented during the past year was aimed at the Chicago clergy, in the Priest in the Modern Worldv Symposium. Loyola attempted to provide the archdiocesan clergy with some new insight and approaches to the priestly vocation. One of the year,s highlights was the Loyola- hosted Conference on Lay Mission Work, it was at this conference that the famous Dr. Thomas A. Dooley, the jungle doctor, spoke, and was pre- sented with an honorary degree by the Univer- sity. 21
