Hon. Joseph H. Choate'52, former United States ambassador to Great Britain, and General Horace Porter, United States ambassador to France from 1897 to 1905, will speak in the Living Room of the Union this evening at 8 o'clock on "The Hague Conference." President Eliot will preside and introduce the speakers.

After leaving Harvard, Mr. Choate was graduated from the Law School. He has received the degree of LL.D. from Harvard, Cambridge, Edinburgh, and Yale Universities, and the degree of D. C. L. from Oxford. He is well known as a member of the committee of seventy men which broke up the Tweed ring in 1871 in New York, and is president of many noted political and legal clubs.

General Porter studied at the Lawrence Scientific School and is a graduate of West Point. He served in the field through the Civil War, and received the Congressional medal of honor for gallantry at Chickamauga. After the War, he became private secretary to President Grant, a position which he held for ten years. In 1904 he was decorated with the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor by the French government. Last summer he was United States delegate to the Hague Conference.

The addresses are open to all members of the University. The gallery will be reserved for ladies.
