Seymour Lectures and Frederick the Great in Iowa
Charles W. Seymour continues his three lecture series in the high school auditorium with a focus on Frederick the Great. The report notes strong attendance, debate on which lecture was best, and highlights Seymour’s engaging narration of the Prussian ruler’s life and career, including Berlin’s intellectual aims and military campaigns. Burnlington and Burlington rail line clerks also show keen interest in gold medal contests aiming for accuracy and speed, while Philip Martin is captured after a year of evading officers following a Rock Island cab breaking.
