UNION TO HAVE BRITISHER ON ROSTRUM FRIDAY NIGHT

John St. Loe Strachey, prominent British journalist and editor, will speak at the Union on Friday night, it was announced late last night by the Union management. His topic has been tentatively set as "Literary Revolt". Technicalities of literary style will not figure prominently in Mr. Strachey's talk, according to present plans.

John Strachey is easily the most prominent man that has stood on the Union rostrum this fall. Since 1897, Mr. Strachey has been editor and proprietor of the London Spectator, England's most authoritative periodical on affairs of the world. He is a member of the Brooks Club and also of the London Atheneum. Both the Tavern Club and the English Speaking Union will tender him receptions before his appearance at the Union.

Mr. Strachey is a graduate of Oxford, where he took first class honors in history at Balliol College. Immediately following his graduation at Oxford, Mr. Strachey figured first as a journalist, and from 1896-97 as editor of the Corn-hill Magazine. Since 1897 he has been connected with the Spectator, the control of which has made him famous for the last ten years.

Besides his contributions and editing of periodicals, Friday night's speaker at the Union has proved a prolific author of books. His special fields are sociology, economics, a practical sort of religion or morals. His works number well over 20, and are generally considered authoritative in the phases with which the author deals.
