PRES. LOWELL SPEAKS AT UNION TOMORROW

OPEN TO WHOLE UNIVERSITY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

President Lowell will address a meeting open to all members of the University in the Living Room of the Union tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock on "The Outstanding Events of the Year 1919-1920 at Home and Abroad." In response to undergraduate demand the Union management has waived its regular ruling, and all students in the University, and not only members of the Union, are invited. H. H. Faxon '21, the recently elected Vice-President, will preside.

Preceding the meeting a dinner will be given in honor of the speaker, to which are invited a number of prominent Faculty members, the officers of the four classes, the presidents of the various University publications, and the captains and managers of the five major sports, in addition to the officers of the Union this year and the officers-elect for next year, and other representative undergraduates. The dinner will take place in the Trophy Room of the Union at 6.30 o'clock.

As this will be the first time that President Lowell has ever addressed the students of the University at an open meeting on any but distinctly academic topics, an unusual opportunity is offered tomorrow evening to hear a recognized authority on current history. Through frequent trips to Washington, where he had ample occasion to gain a first-hand knowledge of national happenings from the men concerned in them and with the background of his training and long instruction in the science of government, on which he has written several authoritative books, President Lowell knows his subject from the bottom. The speech will take the form of a resume and discussion of recent important events and of their meaning.
