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 of the highest type 

 and to bring the results of such research before 

 the students and friends of Northwestern Uni- 

 versity, 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 limitation 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."
