LIBERAL CLUB PLANS SERIES OF LECTURES

Professor Irving Babbitt, Harold Scott, and Jane Addams to Speak at Meetings of the Club Before Vacation--Governor Allen May Speak

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A series of three lectures have been planned by the Liberal Club to be given before the April recess, and with the Intercollegiate Liberal Club Conference on April 2 and 3, the Club expects to have a full schedule. At meetings after the recess two men prominent in public service and political circles have agreed to speak.

Irving Babbitt '89, Professor of French Literature, will be the lecturer at a meeting of the Club in the rooms of the Cranford Club on March 31, when he will use as his subject, "Sham and True Liberals." At the next meeting, on April 7, Harold Scott will speak. He is a wellknown engineer and industrial efficiency expert; his lecture will have a technical trend. The Liberal Club is planning to have him lecture at M. I. T. also.

At the final meeting of Club before the recess, Jane Addams, writer and lecturer on social and political reform, will speak on "Disarmament". Miss Addams, founder of the Hull House Social Settlement in Chicago, is known as America's foremost woman social worker. She is at present chairman of the Women's Peace Party and of the International Committee of Women for Permanent Peace.

Governor Allen Expected to Speak

Henry J. Allen, Governor of Kansas, is scheduled to speak on the "Open Shop" at a meeting soon after the recess. Governor Allen, from his work as a newspaper editor and his studies concerning the open shop in his legislative duties, has an extensive knowledge of his subject. The Club has asked him to present the arguments of the opposite side from that which Samuel Gompers recently discussed. In the presentation of subjects of similar importance at future meetings of the Club, an effort likewise will be made to have representatives of both sides speak.

Roger Baldwin, noted New York criminologist; will speak at the only remaining meeting at present planned, on "Prison Systems".
