Professor Beutler gives a lecture on Frankfurt and Goethe to a large crowd

Sat., Apr. 28, 1934

After an introduction from Professor Cornelius W. Prettyman, Professor Beulter delivered a lecture titled, "Das Alte Frankfurt und Das Goethehaus" in Bosler Hall to almost 300 students. Beulter began his lecture with an overview of what the city of Frankfurt looks like. He then spoke about the 1932 open air performances of two of Wolfgang Goethe's plays, "Egmont" and "Gotz von Berlicher." Afterwards he explained how Goethe's home in Frankfurt was turned into a museum. Professor Beutler connected the first part of his presentation with Goethe's work by demonstrating that Frankfurt influenced Goethe's work.
