is one of several ways in which
the 17 colleges which belong to
the Piedmont University Center
cooperate to enrich their aca
demic programs.
Distinguished scholars from
various fields are invited to lec
ture on several of the campuses
during a tour. The coUeges can
thus share expenses and thereby
afford speakers they could not af
ford alone.

biologist Dr. Walter Flory of
Wake Forest College, is coming
here Apr. 12 to speak under the
Piedmont University Center’s in
ter-institutional lectures program.
