Ex-president William H. Taft, now professor in law at Yale University, will deliver the second lecture of his series on "The Presidency: Its Powers, Duties, Responsibilities, and Limitations" in Langdell Centre this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Professor Taft delivered his first lecture yesterday afternoon, and was most heartily applauded by the scores of law students who crowded the room.
