A lecture will be given in Sanders Theatre Monday evening which promises to be exceedingly interesting and instructive. The lecturer will be Rev. A. B. Turner, and the subject the "Hampton Institute for Colored and Indian Youth." Mr. Turner is chaplain of the Institute and his knowleged is consequently first-hand; his position peculiarly fits him to describe the inside life of the school. The Hampton Institute, which was opened by General Armstrong, has probably done more for the education of the colored youth in the South, and of the Indians than any other institution in the country. Students who have the opportunities afforded by an institution like Harvard, with its traditions and its long line of well-known graduates, are apt to forget that work just as noble, if not so prominent, is being done by smaller institutions which deal with humbler classes of people. Lectures on subjects like this tend to broaden views and stimulate kindly feelings and no man who takes a liberal view of education can afford to miss them. We bespeak for Mr. Turner a cordial reception from the students and a kindly interest in the subject which he will present.
