A few years ago not one intelligent American reader in a hundred had heard of Will Durant, said Harper's magazine in in- troducing "him as a regular contribu- tor, but when he published the "Story of Philosophy" the book immediately became a best seller. Today Will Durant is known along with Strachey, and Wells, and William James, with whom he is most com- pared by the critics who instantly pro- claimed his work as having achieved the difficult task of humanizing philos- ophy. Following the discovery of Will Du- rant the brilliant writer, came the dis- covery of Will Durant the lecturer, where he has achieved equal success for his ability to make vital and fresh not only the field of philosophy, but his contemporary world. Thus, though only in his early for- ties, Will Durant has become a rec- ognized American scholar. He is a native of North Adams, Mass. and was educated by French Catholic nuns. After touring Europe he studied at Columbia university under John Dew- ey, receiving his Ph. D. there in 1917. He taught in Columbia for awhile. and later became educational director of the Labor Temple school of New York, one of the century's most inter- esting experiments in adult education. During that time he was lecturing on philosophv there and compiling his book, taking eleven vears for prepara- tion and then spending three vears in its writing. Tickets for the lecture are being cold by individual members of the league under the direction of Mrs. Randolph Buck. Tickets mav also be obtained at Communitv House. Adams' Pharmacy and the Hearthstone Tea room.
