PITTSBURGH UNIVERSITY LECTURES.

 

The interest which America was compelled to take in European affairs by reason of the war gives fair promise of being kept up even after the war. One of the signs pointing in that direction is the announcement by the University of Pittsburgh of a course of lectures on the “Slavic Nations and Slavic Problems.” What is quite as important is the fact that the lecturer has the qualifications to make the course interesting and instructive. Mr. Edward O. Tabor, the lecturer, is of Czech descent, has the degree of M. A . from the University of Wisconsin and LL. B. from Harvard. He has been recently executive secretary of the Americanization bureau of the Pa. Council of National Defense. While the scope of the course covers all the principal Slav nations, the Czechoslovaks come in for especial attention. In connection with the regular university course Mr. Tabor will also give a series of popular lectures on the same topics under the university auspices.
