Todd at the Department of Classics, University of British Columbia, continued his series of extension lectures at First Presbyterian Church last lon Qf andent Qt tori In regard to the size and shape of the earth and Its relation to the universe, the extent of time and the development of man through the iges. Prof. Todd prefaced his dli-ourse with reference to some of he works of Aristotle, particularly lis treatise on government. The ncient Greeks had entered upon iany realms of thought Including such subjects as zoology, literary criticism, science of geometry and even the atomic theory. They were possessed of mental quickness anc -ere able to give scientific treatment to accumulated facts. Homer, who lived "some' sevei centuries before Christ, had con-:elved of the earth as a flat dlsl f land and sea but some tim later Aristotle had expressed con f ldence that it was a .sphere. Late his had become an accepted fac by the Greeks although there w: -ome difference of opinion as t whether tlw earth rotated itself c the universe went around It. Poso donius had deduced with remark able accuracy largely on the bast of astronomical observation anc' geometric assumption, that thi earth was 26,000 to 28,000 miles h circumference. Strangely enough this theory of the world belnr round had, apparently, been late . lost sight of, being revived only about the time of Columbus. There were only scattered refer ences to the ancient Greek conception as to how old the earth and universe might be. Four or flv centuries before Christ a wrltei had referred to 4t as 30,000 yearf old. Plato had mentioned 9,000 years, Development of Man As to the state of mankind ir. primitive times, there had evidently been two schools of thought one that there had been a gol den age In prehistoric times and that man had deteriorated through j silver and bronze ages down to tin Iron age. Virgil had given a nsv twist by prophesying the return o. a happier state, that the Iron age would disappear and the golden age return. On the other hand Horace had likened early man tc wild animals, expressing the opinion that there had been gradual Improvement with various stage? of advancing civilization and development along diversified lines. Tonight Prof. Todd will give hl5 final lecture, discussing moral Ideas of the ancients in regard to atlitrvt utiri srw!nWv th rlntv f 1 man and how he should act to- wards his fellowman. G, .P.
