After traveling in different places in the West, San Diego and Santa Barbara, I came again to Chicago and gave three public lectures and besides some classes. It was only because they thought the name of special lectures attracted people who are more earnest . . . to give some classes, because I do not believe in six classes a person can be perfect, then run away to something else. It seems a wrong idea to me. Many have introduced that system; although they thought it is their wisdom first to give public lectures and then classes, I never thought it was good to call them classes. I call them special lectures, that they may know that classes cannot be gotten in twelve days' time.
