ADDRESS BY MAJOR HIGGINSON

An exceptional opportunity will be offered to the members of the Union in hearing Major Henry Lee Higginson '55, who is to speak this evening at the annual business meeting. Major Higginson is well known to all members of this University not only as the donor of the Union and of Soldiers Field, but as a strong factor in a great number of ways at Harvard. He has for some time been of great assistance in the maintenance of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and has long been a leader in every public-spirited movement in Boston.

After leaving Harvard, Major Higginson served in the United States volunteers in the Civil War, becoming major and brevet Heutenant-colonel of the 1st Massachusetts cavalry. While serving in the army he was severely wounded at Aldie, Virginia, in June, 1863, and later became one of the members of the firm of Lee, Higginson & Company, bankers, of Boston.
