The Finance Club has been fortunate in securing Mr. Henry Cabot Lodge to lecture before the college on the question of Protection, next Monday evening. The prominence Mr. Lodge has attained in questions of finance and economics makes it unnecessary for us to assert his ability to treat the question he has chosen for the subject of his lecture. The question of Protection is one that is always interesting; but it is peculiarly so at present, when the merits of the doctrines of Free Trade and Protection are to come forward so strongly in the Tariff issue now before the country.

There is doubtless little need of urging men to hear Mr. Lodge, Monday evening. There is probably much greater need, if the public are to be admitted to this lecture, of urging that sufficient space be reserved for students. Thanks are due to the Finance Club for the energetic efforts they have made through the winter to bring men to lecture before the college, who hold high rank in questions of finance and economics.
