The Ambrosian Lecture Series for 1965-66 was designed to bring into sharp focus some of the ideas and
issues that have shaped, and are continuing to shape,
the world we live in. From this world of many times
and many relevancies, these lectures concentrated successively on the ancient world and its schools, on tod-
day's world of mass communication, on the world of
current political and social tension, and, finally, on the
space world, the world of a nearing future.
As a visiting Danforth Lecturer, Samuel Noah Kramer gave three lectures on the St. Ambrose Campus. His
primary lecture was given on Thursday evening. His
topic was "Schools in Biblical and Pre-Biblical Days."

detail the education of men in ancient times. At the
University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Kramer is Clark Research Professor of Assyriology and Curator of the

authority on the ancient Sumerian civilization.
