"A series of informative discussions on issues of current significance. The programs are intended to be enlightening and not necessarily controversial. On each program experts in the field covered by the discussion are invited to take part at an extemporaneous round-table discussion. The Forum is unique in that the published transcript of the program contains bibliographies designed to cover all significant aspects and points of view of the issue under discussion. The transcripts are regularly ordered by 400 Public, private, and university libraries throughout this country and foreign countries; they are ordered by the Army for Armed Forces libraries overseas; 2000 transcripts are supplied to schools in the metropolitan area."--1948 Peabody Digest.
