THET1i61iE'Si'fJR 191 The Bross Lectures for 1911 Une of the most noteworthy events of the year just past has been the fifth series of the Bross Lectures, given by Professor Josiah Royce of Harvard University, upon the general topic, Sources of Religious Insight. The lectureship, provided for by the establishment of the liross Foundation in 187149 by Viiilliam Bross of Chicago, enables the trustees to appoint distinguished men, from time to time, as lecturers upon some phase of the subject defined by the founder as the connection and mutual bear- ing of the facts of any department of knowledge with and upon the Christian Religion. Professor Royce is the foremost philosopher in America and is the leading living exponent of Idealism. His eminence, as a scholar in his own field, rendered his lectures doubly interesting as being the thought of a great modern philosopher upon the vital subject of the modern attitude towards the Christian religion. He developed his theses in the fairest and most undogmatic manner. The lectures were an example of the greatest thoroughness in scholarly preparation, indicating a remarkable grasp of the whole of his subject, and were delivered in so earnest a manner that the audience could not fail in attention. Besides the students and Lake Forest townspeople, the lectures were attended by many visitors from Chicago and the neighboring colleges and universities. During the week of his visit with us, Professor Royce gave his time and services generously, making several class-room lectures in Philosophy and a talk at the morn- ing chapel assembly, endearing himself to all by his simplicity, his earnestness and his kindly geniality. fi C D 'K I3 '.. 17
