Notes, topics or text
The enclosed photocopied item is page 1 of a "Master Minds and Artists Series Proposed Schedule, 1929-30". BR is listed to speak on 4 November 1929 for a fee of $450.
The schedule describes BR as follows: "More than any creative man of our time, Bertrand Russell has made science and philosophy an open book to the general public. Bertrand Russell is a modern prophet. Had he lived during the Middle Ages he would have been burnt at the stake before he could issue a volume of Collected Skeptical Essays."
There are quotations about BR by Professor Ralph Perry and from The Independent. Also in the file are photocopied newsclippings about BR's speech.
