Lecture on Labrador March 14.

Dr. W. T. Grenfell of Labrador will give an illustrated lecture on Labrador in the Union on Tuesday, March 14.

Dr. Grenfell who is a graduate of Oxford and the Royal College of Surgeons studied medicine with Sir Andrew Clark and was for a time associated with Sir Frederick Treves, King Edward's surgeon. For the last twelve years he has been engaged in medical work among the natives and fishermen of Labrador, cruising in summer the length of the coast in his steel hospital ship, the "Strathcona"; and in winter travelling through the country by dog team. He has founded three small hospitals, an industrial school, a mill and several co-operative stores; and plans to build a home for derelict children. His pictures give a very clear idea of the features of the barron coast of Labrador, the icebergs and fiords, which Dr. Grenfell compares favorably with those of Norway.

The lecture will be open to Union members only.
