Lecture by Dr. Franz Boaz.

Under the auspices of the Anthropological Society, Dr. Franz Boaz will speak this evening at 8 o'clock in the Fogg Lecture Room, on "Characteristics of Primitive Culture."

Dr. Boaz is in charge of the department of anthropology at Columbia, and is curator of ethnology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. He has spent much time with the Esquimaux in Baffin's Bay, and the Indians in British Columbia and Southern Alaska, as well as throughout the entire Pacific Coast. Besides having written extensively on these particular regions, and on various general questions of anthropology, Dr. Boaz was director of the Morris Jessup expedition to Behring Strait, which was engaged for six years in the study of the peoples of Northeastern Asia and Northwestern America.

The lecture will be open to the public.
