Layman Lectures . . . 



Mr. Paul G. Dallwig, honorary member of the Museum's staff as 

 "The Layman Lecturer," continued with his usual enthusiasm the 

 Sunday afternoon lectures which have attracted so much attention 

 and publicity since he instituted them in 1937. By certain adjust- 

 ments in his methods of presentation, Mr. Dallwig has been able to 

 increase the size of the audiences accommodated each Sunday. The 

 feature of his lectures which has brought such a large response and 

 has aroused so much favorable comment in the press and in educa- 

 tional circles, is Mr. Dallwig's unique method of "humanizing" and 

 interpreting in dramatic fashion the facts of scientific research. 

 Mr. Dallwig serves the Museum and the thousands of people who 

 attend his talks without any compensation other than the satisfac- 

 tion he may derive from disseminating information about science. 



The 1943 layman lectures were presented during six months, from 

 February to April inclusive, and again from October to December, a 

 total of 25 Sunday presentations; and one special performance was 

 given for the American Bar Association. A different subject was 

 offered each month. The audiences at the 26 lectures totaled 3,295
