N. W. partis 



were founded in 1906 through the generosity of Mr. Norman Wait Harris 

 of Chicago, and are to be given annually. The purpose of the lecture 

 foundation is, as expressed by the donor, "to stimulate scientific research 

 before the students and friends of Northwestern University, and through 

 them to the world. By the term 'scientific research' is meant scholarly in- 

 vestigation into any department of human thought or effort without limi- 

 tation to research in the so-called natural sciences, but with a desire that 

 such investigation should be extended to cover the whole field of human 

 knowledge."
