The first of a number of lectures by prominent men brought here under the auspices of the Socialist Club will be given by Mr. William E. Walling in Emerson D this afternoon at 4.30 o'clock. His subject will be "Progressivism and After," the title of a book which he is to publish shortly. In his work and lectures on this subject, Mr. Walling draws up his argument in favor of more radical measures than those advocated by the Progressives and shows the necessity of instituting a movement that will forge ahead toward the aim of Socialism with more efficiency and speed than the present methods.

Mr. Walling is one of the formost in the ranks of the original Socialistic thinkers in the country. He is a member of the Executive Committee of the Intercollegiate Socialist Society, and his most recent publication is entitled "The Larger Aspects of Socialism."
