...student of current history, Professor Baxter, has been especially interested in the movement for world peace. Last autumn he delivered a series of eight Lowell lectures on the "The lubrication of the Ivon-Clad Hattleship." Freshmen will have an opportunity to get a true insight into the complex problem presented by the powers in the Far East.
