 THE PATTEN FOUNDATION 



Mr. Will Patten of Indianapolis (A.B., Indiana University, 

 1893) made in 1931 a gift for the establishment of the Patten 

 Foundation at his Alma Mater. Under the terms of his gift, 

 which became available upon the death of Mr. Patten (May 3, 

 1936), there is to be chosen each year a Visiting Professor who 

 is to be in residence several weeks during the year. The purpose 

 of this prescription is to provide an opportunity for members 

 and friends of the University to enjoy the privilege and ad- 

 vantage of personal acquaintance with the Visiting Professor. 

 The Visiting Professor for the Patten Foundation in 1938-1939 

 was 



PROFESSOR RAYMOND PEARL 



The present book consists of the Patten Foundation Lectures for 

 1938-1939.
