President David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford, Jr., University, California, will lecture on "The Blood of Nations" in the Living Room of the Union this evening at 8 o'clock. President Lowell will preside and introduce Dr. Jordan. The lecture will be open to members of the Union only.

President Jordan received the degree of S.B. from Cornell University in 1872, and later served as professor in various collegiate institutions. During this period the degrees of Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Laws were conferred upon him. In 1891 he became the first president of a university which stands pre-eminent among those of the Pacific Slope, a post which he still holds.

Dr. Jordan is an insurgent, a man in the vanguard of all progressive and humanitarian movements, and a telling, interesting speaker. Among Dr. Jordan's numerous publications on zoological and biological subjects are: "A Manual of Vertebrate Animals of Northern United States," "Fishes of North and Middle America, "Matka and Kotik," and "Animal Life." On humanitarian subjects his chief works have been "The Call of the Twentieth Century," "The Human Harvest," and "The Philosophy of Despair." He is prominently connected with the International Peace Movement.
