Hard Living, High Thinking
"SCOTLAND in 1774 was a poor and barren country, eking out its existence with primitive farming; poor. and discontented and still smarting under the indignities of the Union of Parliaments. . . Poverty and bitterness were in most of the land." But despite this sombre picture, the Rev. A. M. L. McFarlan would still like to have lived in Scotland in 1774.
In particular, he would like to have been a student attending the ancient university in the High Street of Glasgow. He gives his reason for liking this time of hard living and high thinking in a talk in the series To Choose One’s Time, now being, heard from the YC stations. Other speakers in the sertes who will tell when they would-like toe. havedlived and why. are Professor E. M. Blaiklock (The Rome of the Antonines), and Eric Westbrook. Mr. McFarlan’s talk will be heard from 3YC this Friday, May 13, at 8.0 p.m., and Professor Blaiklock’s from 1YC at 8.0 p.m. on Friday, May 30.
