CROWD UNION TO HEAR GREY

"Of the four great things in life that are essential to happiness, one of the most vitally important is that a man have some leisure, and that he know how to use it," said Viscount Sir Edward Grey, British Ambassador to the United States, last evening before the largest audience that has crowded the Living Room of the Union this year. The speech, which was one of the three to he delivered in the United States by Lord Grey this year, was on the subject of "Recreation." After being introduced by President Lowell, Lord Grey first told of the great interest he had in Harvard, due largely to his very close friendship with William Richardson of Boston, a Harvard man, and with his acquaintance with President Roosevelt '80.

In explaining the four factors in life necessary for happiness, he said: "These are, first, some moral standard by which one can shape his life; secondly, a satisfactory home life with contented relations with friends and family; thirdly, some form of work which justifies one's existence and makes him a good citizen; and, finally, some leisure and the ability to make use of it."

"Books--The Greatest Recreation."

After telling something of his passion for games and sports, especially for tennis and salmon and trout fishing, he spoke of books, which he characterized as "the greatest of all recreations, for without the power of reading no man can be independent."

Viscount Grey told of a walk he took with Mr. Roosevelt through the wild country of Hampshire so that the great American could study the songs of the English birds, and of the profound impression that he received of Roosevelt, not only as a great man of action, but as a man of knowledge.
