President Howard Elliott '81, of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, and Chairman of the Visiting Committee of the Business School, will be the first speaker at the second vocational lecture to be held in the Living Room of the Union this evening at 8 o'clock.

The second speaker, Mr. T. W. Lamont '90, President of the Associated Harvard Clubs, a member of the firm of J. P. Morgan and Company, and a member of the Visiting Committee of the Business School, will speak on "The Need of Trained Men in Business."
