Mrs. Mead's Lectures, December 1927

MRS. MEAD'S LECTURES

I have known Mrs. Mead intimately for a generation. She has perhaps the best informed mind respecting international relations of any woman in the United States, and few men are better informed. It would be a high privilege for any body of students or of teachers to have the opportunity to hear her. President Wilson and members of his cabinet had the highest esteem for her ability and unusual public spirit. She stands in the forefront of the citizens of whom the United States is justly proud, and is greatly esteemed in Europe as well as America, for she is known internationally as few of our citizens are.

I am glad to know that Mrs. Mead is coming to Florida. I shall invite her to address Rollins College and shall urge the heads of other educational institutions to avail themselves of this high privilege. I have been her friend and in close touch with her for twenty years, speaking from the same platform in conferences and conventions in behalf of international friendship. There is no woman on the American platform who is rendering abler, wiser or more devoted service for the great cause of peace and good will among men, which every patriotic man and woman ought to promote.

HAMILTON HOLT,
President of Rollins College, Florida. [page 2]

We have the highest regard for the character, ability and Christian spirit of Mrs. Mead, and believe any message from her merits respectful attention.

S. PARKES CADMAN,
President of the Federal Council of Churches.
WILLIAM P. MERRILL,
President of the Church Peace Union.

Mrs. Mead’s writings are authoritative and convincing, and she brings a constructive and highly important message to her audiences.

FRANK P. SPEARE,

Mrs. Mead is a commanding speaker and made a profound impression here.

PROF. F. L. JANNEY, Hollins College, Virginia.

Mrs. Mead is a woman of unusual intellectual penetration.

L. [O]. HARTMAN, Editor of Zion's Herald.

Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead is one of the best informed citizens whom I know, and is an attractive speaker. Her major interest is the cause of Peace, which she presents vigorously and effectively. It is wholesome for anyone to hear her point of view.

ALBERT E. WINSHIP,
Editor of the Journal of Education.

Mrs. Mead's reputation and ability as an investigator in the field of world organization places her trenchant essays among the authentic documents of the Peace cause. Her illuminating history of the movement, her clear statement of its aims and arguments, and her keen exposure of the fallacies of its opponents give her writings a high value.
