Louis Anspacher
Gives Lecture
Monday Night
Louis K. Anspacher, philosopher,
poet, and dramatist presented the
fourth in the series of lectures last
Monday evening. Mr. Anspacher is
one of the outstanding orators of
the American platform and has
been associated with important
movements in adult education.
He spoke with charm, ease, and
great effect, and calmly evaluated
the present in terms of the past,
and appraised the present as a
prophecy of  the  future.
Though philosophy has been his
speciality, he is well known as a
poet and dramatist. He gave us
"The Unchastened Woman," "The
Embarrassment of Riches," "Our
Children," to mention but a few
of his many successes.
Mr. Anspacher was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, and has studied and
received degrees at the College city
of New York, Columbia, and did
post-graduate work in the School
of Philosophy at Columbia. He is
secular lecturer at the Temple
Emanuel in New York, member of
the League for Political education,
member of the Brooklyn Institute
of Arts and Sciences and is lecturer for the University Extension
center.
He is. very effective in bringing
to ' a dazed and bewildered world,,
a long range interpretation of
events as seen through the eyes
of a philosopher. The Chicago Tribune stated, "He speaks on philosophy with the tongue of a poet,
and he speaks on art with the
tongue of a philosopher."
