NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Captain Donald B. Macmillan G. '13 will lecture next Tuesday, May 12, at the Union on the subject of the expedition conducted to northern Greenland.

Captain MacMillan spent two years in graduate work at the University after receiving his degree from Bowdoin. Since, his life has been that of an explorer of the polar regions. He accompanied Peary, who had been interested in him for many years, on the trip when the north pole was discovered, and he has since made many discoveries which stamp him as one of the world's greatest explorers.

Captain MacMillan is already planning another expedition to the north pole, which will start on June 17, probably from Boston. This trip will assume the character of an international race, for at approximately the same time, expeditions to the pole will start under the British and Norwegian flags. The Norwegian explorers will go in airplanes and the English group in a blimp, while Captain MacMillan will make his journey with two ships, escorted by "amphibian" airplanes.
