Union Filled at Bryce Lecture

A large and enthusiastic audience attended the address made by Viscount Bryce last night in the Living Room of the Union. All the available floor space was taken up; the balconies and windows were packed; and lines extended from each doorway far into the hall and up the staircase.

In introducing the speaker President Lowell declared that there had been no man who had attracted so much interest by books written fifty-eight years apart as has Viscount Bryce by his "Holy Roman Empire" and "Modern Democracies." The first was written in 1863, two years after Viscount Bryce attained first honors in both the Classics and History; while the second has recently been published. President Lowell also said that Lord Bryce was one of the favored of the gods, in that he was one of the men that would always die young.

Viscount Bryce then made an interesting speech for forty-five minutes. In accordance with his own preference, however, the report of the speech was withheld.
