To Open

Dr. 'William B. "Edgerton, as
sistant professor of Russian, will
talk on his two month tour in
Russia at a lecture at 8 p.m.
Thursday in 121 Sparks. The lec
ture is open to the public.
The address, first of the Liber
al Arts Lecture Series, is jointly
sponsored by the Russian Area
Committee. Dr. Edgerton will il
lustrate his talk with 200 colored
slides he took on his tour during
June and July.
Dr. Edgerton spent one month
of his visit in the universities
and librabries of the Soviet Union
to do research on a biographical
and critical study of Nikolai Les
kov, a Russian writer of the
nineteenth century. Part of his
visit was spent with a group of
six American Quakers represent
ing the American Friends Serv
ice Committee.
A native •of Winston-Salem,
N.C., Dr. Edgerton believes that
his association with other scholars
in Russia is the first such schol
arly contact an American has had
in many years.
He received his bachelor’s and
master’s degrees from Guilford
College in 1934 and 1935. In 1954
he obtained his doctor of phil
osophy degree from Columbia
University. Dr. Edgerton, who
has been at the University since
1950, was on leave last year as
visiting assistant professor of
Slavic languages and literature
at the University of Michigan,
Ann Arbor.
