DISTINGUISHED ENGLISH SCHOLAR.
Professor J. Y. T. Greig of the Chair of English, University of the Witwatersrand (Johannesburg) will give a public lecture on Thursday evening, at Victoria University College, on "South Africa Today." Professor Greig is a D.Litt. of the University of Glasgow and the author of various books on English Semantics. His best-known books are probably his volume on the psychology of wit and comedy and his biography of David Hume, the Scottish philosopher, which gained for him the Black Memorial Prize which is awarded for the best biography published each year in England. Dr. Greig has been a Carnegie Visiting Professor to America and under the nom-de-plume of John Carruthers is the author of a group of novels. This is his first visit to New Zealand, to which his father retired some years ago after completing his service as a medical missionary in China.
