In early 1976, a group of Walter Gordon's friends sponsored a dinner at Toronto's Royal York Hotel both to mark the occasion of his seventieth birthday and to pay their individual and collective tributes to his achievements. At the same time, funds were collected to establish the Walter L. Gordon Lecture series which would allow three distinguished Canadians per year to discuss subjects of their choice. The trio picked to kick off this worthy enterprise, whose lectures make up this book, turned out some highly appropriate contributions . . . All three of these lectures carry through the sponsors' original intention: to stimulate discussion by presenting ideas which will improve the tone and quality of this country while perpetuating the notion that civilized men taking thought together can resolve the most knotty of issues. That objective, which also sums up Walter Gordon's personal philosophy, will be carried forward by future installments in this series. Meanwhile, the current volume marks an impressive beginning in what will hopefully become an annual time capsule of essential, original, Canadian thought. - June 1977; Peter C. Newman, Editor-Maclean's. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 001251
