OSTHEIMER TO LECTURE ON MOUNTAINEERING EXPEDITION

Talk at Union Sunday to Be Illustrated

A description of the expedition which he headed into the snows of the Canadian Rockies last summer, will be the subject of a lecture by A. J. Ostheimer '29 at the Union on Sunday evening at 7.30 o'clock it has been announced by the Graduate Secretaries.

Accompanied by seven others, including two undergraduates of the University, Ostheimer started in June from Jasper, Alberia, and rode south to Mount Daia, the first of the 30 hitherto unclimed peaks which were scaled during the summer by the expedition. One of the most spectacular feats was the climbing of four peaks in the Columbia ice-field in 36 hours without rest. One of the highest peaks encountered was "Mount Lowell", 10,800 feet high, named by the party in honor of President Lowell.

Ostheimer's lecture on Sunday evening which will be open to Union members only, will be illustrated by slides and motion pictures of the trip.
