November 9. 1928 WILMETTE . LIFE Authority on Tibet Given Lectureship at Northwestern U. Appointment of Dr. William Montgomery McGovern, widely known traveler and explorer, to a lectureship in contemporary oriental civilization in Northwestern university, was · announced this week by President Walter Dill Scott, following a meeting of the board of trustees. Dr. McGovern is one of the few white men who have succeeded in entering the sacred city of Lhasa. In the disguise of a Tibetan coolie he reached the forbidden city after months of hardships. There the dalai lama, the supreme Buddhist pontiff, and a man of liberality and intelligence, had him confined for weeks as a prisoner of state in order to protect him from the monks. Later the lama provided him with a guard who escorted him back to India in safety. He has told of his experiences in Tibet in "To Lhasa in Disguise." Following this expedition into Tibet, Dr. :McGovern explored the unknown jungle of the Upper Amazon, accompanied by one white man and three natives. Dr. McGovern is a graduate of Oxford university. He is assistant curator of South American ethnology in the Field Museum of Natural History, and is a member of the board of oriental studies and examiner in the University of London. He has spent a great part of his life in the orient and is regarded as one of the foremost authorities on the civilizations of Japan, China and India. In addition to his travel books he is the author of "ColloCJuial J a p a n e s e," "Modern Japan," "Introduction to Mahayana Buddhism," and "Manual of Buddhist Philosophy." Dr. McGovern will give courses in contemporary oriental civilizations on the E:vanston campus the next ·semester.
