SIR E. SHACKLETON IN UNION

Lieutenant Sir Ernest Shackleton, the English explorer, will speak in the Living Room of the Union, this afternoon at 2.30 o'clock. Lieutenant Shackleton last year penetrated almost to the south pole, being stopped after he had surmounted practically all difficulties and had only an open plateau between himself and the pole, by the exhaustion of his provisions. As it was he reached a point farther south than had ever before been attained. Lieutenant Shackleton's stay in America will be brief as he intends to return to England shortly to prepare for another Antarctic expedition.

Recommendation by Student Council.

The following announcement has been made by the Executive Committee for the Student Council: "The undersigned urge all members of the University, who have no engagements early this afternoon, to gather in the Living Room of the Union at 2.25 o'clock, to greet Sir Ernest Shackleton, the Antarctic explorer, who will be a guest of the Harvard Travellers' Club, for lunch. He will speak briefly in the Living Room at 2.30 o'clock."
