The first of the series of practical talks on subjects connected with travel and exploration, announced by the Travellers' Club, will be given by Professor C. E. Fay, of Tufts College, on Mountaineering in Harvard 1, tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock. The talk will include a brief reference to the development of Alpine climbing as a sport, and will then take up the more practical problems of equipment for camping and climbing in the mountains, with suggestions on snow and ice work and the ascent of rocky crags. The risks and the precautions of mountaineering will be set forth. The more important articles of equipment will be shown, and the various aspects of the subject will be illustrated by lantern pictures and by anecdotes from personal experience. The great opportunity for Americans to combine mountaineering and exploration in their own continent will be pointed out. At the close of the talk, there will be opportunity for personal conference with the lecturer. All the series of practical talks are open to members of the University and their invited friends.
