Dr. W. T. Grenfell, C. M. G., will give an illustrated lecture on "Labrador Life" in the Living Room of the Union this evening at 8 o'clock. The stereopticon view illustrating the lecture will show the life of the people, the picturesque bays and mountains, and scenes of winter travel by dog-team. Dean Sabine, who had charge of the endowment fund for the Harvard bed which was established last year in one of Dr. Grenfell's hospitals, will introduce the speaker.

Dr. Grenfell is a graduate of King's College, Oxford, and the Royal College of Surgeons, and was for a time associated with Sir Frederick Treves, King Edward's surgeon. For 18 years he has been engaged in medical and philanthropic work in Labrador and has bettered the educational and economic situation there by establishing schools and co-operative stores. He cruises the coast of Labrador in summer in his hospital ship and in winter covers the distance from settlement to settlement by dog-teams, caring for the sick and needy fishermen who comprise most of the population of this region. On one of these trips he made the first authentic chart of the Labrador coast. This winter he is going to introduce into the country a herd of reindeer from Lapland in the expectation that these animals will fulfill the domestic needs of the people.

Dr. Grenfell is a magistrate, a holder of the Board of Trade certificate of competency as a master-mariner, and an agent of Lloyds in pursuing seamen who wreck their vessels for the insurance. He is an active opponent of the fraud, oppression and drink evils which prevail in Labrader. Last year he was made a Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George by King Edward, and recently he has received from Oxford the first M.D. degree that this university has ever given.

The lecture will be open to all members of the University, whether or not members of the Union.
