Moral Obligation of Being Intelligent Lecture
Professor John Erskine spoke at Dyckman Hall on the moral duty to be intelligent. He argued English tradition undervalues intelligence compared with Greek and Italian literature and noted how Greek study wanes in the U S. He recalled reading David Harum in 1909 and reflected on scenes of clever deception rather than plot.
