UNIVERSITY EXTENSION LECTURES.

(1919-1920.)

In September, 1912, the University inaugurated a system of extension
lectures by which the services of various professors are offered each session
to any community in the State which signifies its desire to hear one
or more of these lectures. No charge is made beyond the lecturer's necessary
expenses. No fee need be paid to the lecturer. Applicants for
these lectures should indicate a first, second and third choice of speakers,
because it is not always possible for a professor to leave his work in the
University, and each one can accept only a limited number of engagements.
Information as to the necessary arrangements may be obtained
by addressing the Bureau of Appointments, University, Virginia.
