Winn. 1840 SOIT Public Forum Editor, WINNETKA TALK-- Yesterday I received a copy of an editorial from WinNETKA TALK, the date of which I do not know. It con- tained a statement about the debt that the Guild audiences and the actors owed me. I want you to know how much I appreciate that phrase, and to let you know I was deeply moved by your tribute. It was the nicest thing ever said to me in print and as far as I know the only thing of its kind said publicly about my resignation. You must know my affection for the north shore and its people to put in those four years of fiendishly difficult work trying to make the Guild a definite part of the north shore life and a real factor in the community. Then you realize how hard it was for me to leave. Although I am entirely en- joying my work here, I hold fond hopes of sometime in some way of returning to that community I want to call home. Gratefully yours, Alexander Dean, Yale University, New Haven, Conn. Willett Lectures Attract to Union Church Meetings The Kenilworth Union church was filled to capacity with an intensely in- terested audience last Wednesday eve- ning to listen to the second lecture given by Dr. Herbert Willett in the series of lectures occurring every Wed- nesday evening at 8 o'clock. The first lecture was on "Zoroaster, the En- lightener of Persia," the second, "Con- fucius, the Sage of China," and next Wednesday he will speak on "Gautama, The Buddha."
