Twenty-five members of the Harvard Flying Club will act as ushers on Thursday evening when Commander Richard E. Byrd describes his North Pole and transatlantic flights in a lecture in the ballroom of the Hotel Statier. This will be Commander Byrd's last appearance in Boston before he sets out on his hazardous aeroplane dash to the South Pole. The expedition is now forming, and the start is scheduled for September. Commander Byrd plans to build a small city on the rim of the Atlantic continent and to make this the base for his flight. He will outline his plane in detail on Thursday.
