The faculTy, wiTh The eFForTs of The LiTerary Club and oTher groups, has presenTed many lecTures, panel discussions, and guesT speakers To The sTUdenT body. Two highlighTs of The year were lecTures given by Madison's Dr. Irving H. Buchen and Mr. T. J. Ross, who spoke on D. H. Lawrence and J. D. Salinger, respecTively.
