PROMINENT SPEAKERS AT UNION THIS MONTH

Two men of international fame, Count I. Tolstoy and Admiral Sims, will speak at the Union this month, the Governing Board has announced in its January bulletin, issued today.

Count Tolstoy, who is the son of Count Leo Tolstoy, the famous Russian author and man of letters, will speak in the Living Room next Monday evening, January 9, at 8 o'clock, on conditions in Russia. In his talk he will describe how Russian students have been sent to this country to be educated, in order that they may return to Russia to help rebuild it on democratic principles.

On Tuesday, January 24, Admiral Sims will talk in the Living Room on the United States Navy during the War, and on its future. Admiral Sims was commander-in-chief of the United States Naval Forces in European waters, and had charge of protecting transports, which included the planning of the immense American mine field which stretched from Scotland to Norway. He has been one of the outstanding figures among modern American naval leaders.

In addition to the two lectures, the last three University teas will be held on successive Fridays of this month. The fifth tea will take place on January 6, the sixth on January 13, and the last on January 20.

A new ruling has been decided upon by the Governing Board, whereby no person in the future will be admitted to Union lectures unless he has his membership card with him. This rule has been found to be necessary because it is not possible to check off on the list of members those men who have forgotten to bring their card or have mislaid it. Guest cards must be secured before the evening of the lecture.
