ROOSEVELT TALKS ON OUR NAVAL ACTIVITIES

"The United States Navy" will be the subject of the war lecture to be given by Franklin D. Roosevelt '04, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, in the New Lecture Hall this afternoon at 5 o'clock. Mr. Roosevelt's talk will include a description of the organization of the Navy Department and an explanation of the part played by navies in modern warfare. He will also comment upon the different kinds of naval craft and show the particular field covered by each.

The lecture tonight will be a continuation of the series which were given before the Christmas recess and is given under the auspices of a committee headed by Dean Haskins.

After his graduation from the University in 1904, Mr. Roosevelt took a degree of bachelor of laws from the Columbia Law School in 1907, and was admitted to the New York Bar the same year. Three years later he was elected to the New York Senate, a position which he held for three years, resigning in 1913 to take up the office of Assistant Secretary of the Navy under the Wilson administration. Mr. Roosevelt was also elected to the Board of Overseers of the University at the last election of nominees.

Hour of Lecture Changed.

The previous lectures of the series have been given on Wednesday evenings in the New Lecture Hall, but this lecture has been changed from Wednesday evening to Monday afternoon to fit in Mr. Roosevelt's already crowded schedule, and like the preceding lectures, will be open only to members of the University. Although no announcement has yet been made as to the schedule of the coming lectures, they will be continued as usual on Wednesday evenings throughout the rest of the year, in part by members of the Faculty who are in touch with special and general aspects of war work and conditions in European countries, and in part by alumni and men outside the University who can speak with authority on such subjects.

Six lectures in this series have already been given, five of which were delivered by members of the Faculty and one by Dr. Fitch, former president of Andover Theological Seminary, and now professor of Biblical literature at Amherst. The first was given by Lieutenant Andre Morize on "Life in the Trenches," the second by Professor William Ernest Hocking on "The War Zone and What Lies Behind It," the third by Professor Lord on "The Russian Situation," the fourth, scheduled for November 21 by Professor Wallace C. Sabine on "Aviation and the War," being unavoidably canceled. The next lecture was given by Professor Arthur D. Hill '94 on "What I Saw in France," the fifth by Dr. Albert Parker Fitch '00 on "The French Front and the Red Cross," and the last, one by Dean Gay of the Graduate School of Business Administration on "War Prices.
