Major Henry Lee Higginson '55, president of the Union and a member of the Corporation, will lecture in the Living Room of the Union tonight at 8 o'clock. He will speak on "Professor Alexander Agassiz," viewing him not from the standpoint of an outsider, but from that of a personal friend.

He will give a sketch of Mr. Agassiz's life from the time he entered Harvard to the present day, telling some of his experiences in College and in the Scientific School. Beginning with his connection with the Calumet and Hecla mining property, Major Higginson will trace how he developed it from an insolvent condition to the best copper mine in the world, and will describe the difficulties he faced and overcame in the process.

He will also give a complete and intimate history of Mr. Agassiz's dredging expeditions, and his scientific work while engaged in exploring the ocean floor. Mr. Agassiz's achievements in this department of scientific investigation are so remarkable, that he may be said to have begun the science of thalassography.

The lecture will be open only to members of the Union.
