Synopsis

In 1940, a new invitation to learning was on the air. Dr. Stringfellow Barr, president of St. John's College at Annapolis, created an intellectual radio program, extending a bid to those who would listen to learn. Invitation to Learning ran on the major network for twenty-four years and featured such panelists as Norman Corwin, John Houseman, John Carradine, Herbert Hoover, Eva LeGallienne, Hans Conried, Lillian Gish, and many more. This book, "limited to a printing of 500 and hand numbered on the title page" is a wonderful collection of broadcasts, documented by title and date, literature, story origin, plot, guest panelists, and trivia. From Leo Tolstoy, Melville, Austin, Kapak, Wells, and even the Bible, this book is in itself, an invitation to learning.
