Loyola News: "Grad Schools Present Six Map Talks: Fr. Delangles Gives Free Lectures on Cartography"
Description
This article from the Loyola News discusses a series of free lectures on cartography given by the Graduate School of Loyola University by Rev. Jean Delangles, S.J. at the downtown college in the afternoons of Wednesdays, April 7, 14, 28 and May 5, 19, and 26.
Cartography is described as being critical to how "the highest military and naval authorities of the country plan their campaigns and so execute them as to bring ultimate victory over our enemies." It also invokes the Roman legions' use of maps, and says that the airplane makes cartography important for "all educated Americans when peace comes. This is especially true for those living in the Chicago area, for the position of this city, as will be shown by Father Delangles, makes it an ideal place as a world center of air transport.
"Those instructors, who in response to government pleas, will devote their talents in the near future to the teaching of geography and map-making, as well as those already engaged along these lines, will find these lectures very profitable."
