THAYER SPEAKS TONIGHT ON EX-PRES, ROOSEVELT'S CAREER

All members of the Union are invited to attend the meeting to be held tonight in honor of Col. Theodore Roosevelt '80, at which William Roscoe Thayer '81 will speak. The meeting will be held in the Living Room of the Union at 8 o'clock, and will open with a short introductory speech by Dean C. N. Greenough '98. Mr. Thayer will then make an address on "Some Interesting Incidents in Col. Roosevelt's Career." After this there will be a two-real motion picture entitled "Through the Roosevelt Country with Roosevelt's Friends."

Mr. Thayer has recently come into prominence throughout the country by the publication of his book, "Theodore Roosevelt," last month. Leading biographical critics consider this work as the best life of Col. Roosevelt ever written. The author has been associated with the University for many years. In 1906 he was sent as a delegate from Harvard and the American History Association to the International History Congress at Milan, and from 1913 to 1919 he served as Overseer. The degree of Doctor of Letters was conferred upon him in 1913. Among his many works, the one perhaps most closely connected with the University is his "History and Customs of Harvard University."

Many of Roosevelt's Friends in Film.

"Through the Roosevelt Country with Roosevelt's Friends," which will follow Mr. Thayer's address, was filmed under the auspices of the Roosevelt Memorial Association and the personal supervision of Hermann Hagedorn '07, author of "The Boy's Life of Theodore Roosevelt." As a background the film shows such of Roosevelt's hunting grounds as the Bad Lands of the West, Medora, the Kootenai and Big Horn Mountains and the sites of Roosevelt's ranches. Many of Roosevelt's western friends and companions appear in the picture, among them Joe and Sylvane Ferris, Jack Reuter and Mrs. Margaret Roberts, "the most wonderful woman in the Bad Lands." This film shows better than any written word how Roosevelt lived and toiled during the days that he lived in the West.
