THE BARBOUR-PAGE LECTURE FOUNDATION.

The University of Virginia is indebted for the establishment of
the Barbour-Page Foundation to the wisdom and generosity of Mrs.
Thomas Nelson Page, of Washington, D. C. In 1907, Mrs. Page
donated to the University the sum of $22,000, the annual income of
which is to be used in securing each session the delivery before the
University of a series of not less than three lectures by some distinguished
man of letters or of science. The conditions of the foundation
require that the Barbour-Page lectures for each session be not less
than three in number; that they be delivered by a specialist in some
branch of literature, science, or art; that the lecturer present in the
series of lectures some fresh aspect or aspects of the department of
thought in which he is a specialist; and that the entire series delivered
each session, taken together, shall possess such unity that they
may be published by the Foundation in book-form.
