As a speaker, Dr. Kuitert proves to be an interesting lecturer and the material which he presents keeps his audiences spellbound. The words come naturally without effort and without elaboration. No one in the audience will ever get the feeling that the lectures are beyond his range of understanding, and no one will ever accuse […]
