LECTURES ON RELATIVITY The new world of space, time and matter was the subject of the lecture of W. Lee Lewis, professor of chem istry, Northwestern university, when he spoke before the Contemporary Thought classes on the Evanston and McKinlock campuses this week. High lights of the scientific thought of the day which he discussed included the doubt Einstein has cast upon such fundamental concepts as simultaneity the unity of time and the possibility of absolute motion; and the concep- tion of the electrons as the ultimate participle of that elusive form of energy which plays an increasingly important part in human life, namely. electricity. This was the second of the Con- temporary Thought lectures which are broadcast over WMAQ at 7 Wednes- day evenings. The first was given by Baker Brownell, professor of Con- temporary Thought and head of the newly organized department of Con temporary Thought. Throughout the year twenty-six experts in many fields of thought will speak in the course, which has as its subject matter the problems of people living in this new and changing universe and which will discuss the modern point of view in science, society, art, religion and philosophy.
