PROF. CHEYNE’S LECTURES.
A Notable Series to be Given at Yale
This Month,
A notable series of lectures will be
given at Yale’ in the latter part of
November, by Professor Thomas K.
Cheyne, M.A., D.D., of Oxford Uni-
versity, one of the foremost Biblical |
scholars of the age. Professor Cheyne
came to this country on the invitation |
of the committee in charge of the
American Lectures on the History of
Religions,. under whose auspices Pro-
fessor Brinton gave his interesting lec-
tures on the Religions of Primitive Peo- |

ples last January.
with six or seven of the leading univer-
sities of the East.
each annual course the leading scholar
of the world, and to have him deliver
the same series of lectures at each uni-
versity represented on the committee.
There is no doubt that in secur-
ing Professor Cheyne (pronounced
Chainey) the committee has been ex-
ceptionally fortunate. His rank in the
scholarly world is at the head. He is
essentially a pioneer and is therefore
often the champion of opinions which
seem radical and unsatisfying to the
average man, but he is also a man of
such enthusiasm, religious earnestness
and suggestive power, that those who
cannot accept his opinions are strength-
ened and broadened by his words. An
interesting article regarding him writ-
ten by one of his students, is pub-
lished in the Outlook for October 23d.
Professor -Cheyne’s lectures will be
six in number, given on the evenings
of Nov. 11, 12, 13, 18, 19 and 20 in Col-
lege Street Hall. The general subject
of the course is “Hebrew Religious
Life and Thought after the Exile.” To
this period of Hebrew history—the five
centuries before the birth of the Christ
—Professor Cheyne has devoted the
best work of his life. It is one of the
least known but most interesting eras
of Biblical development. The rise of
Judaism proper and its gradual prepara-
tion of the way for Christianity are only
two of the subjects naturally involved
in its careful study. The literature as
well as the history. of the. period will
be treated by the lecturer as none but
he can do it.
Such a lecturer as Professor Cheyne is
not obtainable under ordinary condi-
tions by even a wealthy university.
Only on the combined invitation of
several academic centers would he con-
sent to leave his chosen pursuits for the
sake of giving these lectures. To hear
him is a rare opportunity which is not
likely to be given again to those who
cannot go abroad freely.
The University gave a liberal support
last Spring to the course given by Dr.
Brinton. It is to be hoped that the
College Street Hall will be crowded
with those desirous of hearing his emi-
nent successor.

Why so ATTRACTIVE? —
What is it that turns eyes and thoughts and applications to the PRUDENTIAL?
Think of how it’s sweeping on in all directions — assets and surplus nearly
trebled in five years ; income and insurance in force more than doubled !
__ Two million four hundred and seventy-five thousand policies in force !
For an explanation, look at things near at hand. What is it that makes
college athletics so attractive ? It is the beautiful combination of youthful
spirit and strength, and mature counsel. The “ ripe” football team is
not only glorious physical perfection, full of blood and muscle. It is the
embodiment of balance and self-control. Its dash is never recklessness.
It knows what it may do: it knows quite as well what it may not do.
The rock-ribbed PRUDENTIAL has all the glory of youth and the calm
: security of mature years, Consider its record. Look a its balance.
Inspect its investments. The book is open to you. |
