Preceding his lecture, Mr. Roosevelt will be given a dinner by the CRIMSON editors in the Union, at which President Lowell, other officers of the University, and several former editors of the CRIMSON will be present.

The lecture tomorrow night is the first of a series by Harvard graduates, who will speak at the Union on government affairs. Colonel Arthur Woods '92, Police Commissioner of New York City, will lecture on "College Men in Governmental Affairs," about the middle of March. Major-General Leonard Wood, M.D., '84, and Colonel Theodore Roosevelt '09, of the New York Assembly are expected to speak some time in April on subjects to be announced soon.
