WADE COMES TO UNION FOR LECTURE TONIGHT

Returning to Boston for the first time since his triumphal landing at the Boston Airport last September after the globe-encircling flight of the Army fligers, Lieutenant Leigh Wade will describe his experiences of the flight at the Union, tonight. The meeting will take place at 7.30 o'clock in the Living Room of the Union and will be open to all members of the University.

Lieutenant Wade has been lecturing for the Air Service since the arrival of the Round the World fliers last fall, explaining the adventures of the epoch making expedition. So far he has visited those cities which the squadron touched on its flight, and the tour will continue until the end of the month, when he will report back to Washington for active flying duty. Lieutenant Arnold, companion of the Army flier on the trip, was at first scheduled to speak also at the Union tonight, but he has unavoidably been prevented from including Boston in his itinerary.

To Show 4000 Feet of Film

Fifty minutes of this evening will be used in showing the official government films, the only complete pictorial record of the flight. They are 4000 feet in length, and includes the entire trip of the Boston 1, the plane piloted by Lieutenant Wade. The pictures will include scenes of actual flying conditions, some of them taken at high altitudes, and also pictures of the elaborate celebrations with which the American fliers were greeted in every part of the globe. The feat was accepted abroad as at home, as an accomplishment which will doubtless bear much the same relation to the development of aviation, as that of Magellan has to the history of sailing.

Browning to Introduce Wade

Colonel Browning of the Military Science Department of the University will introduce Lieutenant Wade before his address, and is expected to preside at the dinner which is being given in honor of the Army ace at the Union tonight before the speech. Lieutenant Wade's brief stay in Boston has already been featured by celebrations in his honor, his schedule including Mayor Curley, the American Legion, the City Club and the Charlestown Navy Yard among those who are paying tribule to the Army's achievement. It was reported last night that the Governor of Vermont has sent a representative to Boston to invite Lieutenant Wade, on behalf of the Executive of the state, to address a joint meeting of the Legislature on his flight.

Lieutenant Wade was a member of the expedition from its start last summer to its finish when the planes arrived at Washington in September. He was extremely fortunate in the matter of accidents until the fateful last lap of the trip, when the Army flier attempted to span the Atlantic by the way of Iceland and Greenland.
