MAJOR HIGGINSON'S ADDRESS.

An account of a great man, the memory of whose life and achievements is still fresh, is certain to prove stimulating and to induce emulation. The story of a Harvard graduate, who was at once an exceptional executive, a scientist of the first rank, and a generous benefactor of the University, must have for Harvard students an interest both absorbing and inspiring. The life of the late Professor Alexander Agassiz was such a one: his energy, his executive ability, and his intellectual attainments won for him an international reputation. To have done as much as Professor Agassiz accomplished in each of the manifold lines of endeavor to which he turned his attention, is no common achievement.

To hear of the life of Professor Agassiz from one who knew him intimately and from one with whom he had much in common, is the opportunity which Major Higginson's talk in the Union this evening offers to its members.
