As a part of the Union lecture program for November and December, it was announced yesterday that Colonel H. K. Eustace will speak Tuesday, November 21, Mr. B. L. Brasol a week later on the 28th, and Dr. Joshi on Wednesday, December 13. Although there will undoubtedly be more lectures throughout December, it is not possible to announce these at present.
Colonel Eustace, who is one of the best, known of British sportsmen, has worked for many years as a professional ivory hunter in Africa. During the Great War he fought against the German colonies in that continent. Since the showing of 8000 feet of moving picture film will consume all of his time, Colonel Eustace will not deliver a formal lecture, but will instead explain his films as they are thrown upon the screen. These moving pictures are the only ones that have ever been taken of wild animals that were not wounded, drugged, or in captivity. In making, these photographs no beaters were employed to drive the beasts up to the camera.
Served in Imperial Guard
Mr. Brasol served as District-Attorney in various Russian cities, including Petrograd, under the old Russian Empire. At the start of the Great War he joined the army as an officer in the First Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Guard, which was the only unit of the army that stood its ground before the German counter-attack in the late fall of 1914. Mr. Brasol is an authority on all questions of Russian government, and has made a special study of the Bolshevist regime. He has written books on various subjects, among others. "Socialism vs. Civilization", "The World at the Cross-Roads" and "The Balance Sheet of Sovietism". He will speak on the causes of the Bolshevist revolution.
Dr. Joshi stands in the foremost rank of scholars of the problem which now confronts the British in governing India. He was the first native of India to graduate from Columbia University, and is now serving as Exchange Professor at the University of Nebraska under the Carnegie Foundation. He has made a profound duty of the sentiments of the natives towards the British, and will explain this and other phases of the present situation in this lecture.
