A series of six lectures by Professor E. Evans-Pritchard
6-Applied Anthropology
The speaker is Professor of Social Anthropology at Oxford University. In the course of these weekly lectures he has surveyed the growth, the present position, and the applications of this field of knowledge.
In his last lecture Professor Evans-
Pritchard tries to give answers to the question: what is the purpose of studying 'social anthropology? He shows that the study has a bearing on the administration of primitive peoples, and that various colonial governments and other bodies are consequently interested in it. He then considers the broader issue of the function in the world today of what are often called social sciences and the many problems posed by different points of view regarding them. He ends by indicating what he thinks are the main reasons that justify studying this branch of knowledge.

A series of seven talks
1-The Servant as Masterby A. C. Lloyd ,
Lecturer in Philosophy at St. Andrews University
It is perhaps more natural to suppose that thought influences language rather than that the influence is the other way round. In this series of talks speakers have been invited to consider the factor of language determinism in different fields, inc uding science, law, literature, and economics.
