Professor Shapley to Discuss Eclipse

Professor Harlow Shapley of the University Observatory will deliver a lecture on "The Coming Eclipses of the Sun and Moon" this afternoon at 4 o'clock in the New Lecture Hall.

This afternoon's lecture will be the first exposition at the University of the eclipse which will come on January 24. Professor Shapley plans to make an intensive study of the future phenomenon when it occurs. He will be assisted in this work by several associates who are already busy making preparations to photograph and make complete records of the eclipse. Professor Shapley plans to journey to an observatory in New York State inasmuch as there will be a total eclipse there, wheress only 99 per cent of the sun's surface will be covered when viewed from Cambridge.
