Lecture on Savages of Luzon at 7

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Dr. L. A. B. Street, a surgeon at St. Peter's Hospital, Kioto, Japan, will speak on "The 'Head-Hunters' of Northern Luzon" at a meeting of the St. Paul's society in the Noble Room of Phillips Brooks House at 7 o'clock this evening. The meeting will be open to all members of the University.

In 1898 Dr. Street went to the Philippines as a United States army surgeon, and after four years of service was appointed chief medical inspector of five provinces near Manila. Part of this work consisted in the medical care of the Igorrotes, a savage tribe in Luzon who cut off the heads of their victims and use them for decorations in their huts. Dr. Street will describe his experiences with this tribe and will show many photographs of them.

Next Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the regular weekly gathering at Phillips Brooks House Dr. Street will speak on the same subject.
