A lecture will be given on Monday evening in the Fogg Lecture Room, under the auspices of the Mining Club, by Mr. John H. Hammond, a mining engineer. Mr. Hammond is a graduate of the Sheffield Scientific School, and of the Mining School at Freiburg, Germany. He has been identified for many years with the development of the Rand gold district of the Transvaal, having acted as consulting engineer for the large English mining companies in that region. He was also a member of the famous "Reform Committee," which was tried after the Jameson raid. He will tell about the South African gold mines, taking for his subject, "The Physical Geography and Commercial Importance of South Africa."

The lecture will be open to members of the University.
