President of Radio Corporation to Address Business Students

General T. G. Harbord, president of the Radio Corporation of America will deliver a lecture on "Radio in the World War and the Organization of an American and Transoceanic Radio Service" to the students in Business Policy 12 in Baker Library at 11 o'clock today.

The lecture is one of a series on the radio industry which has been delivered in this course recently. Last week David Sarnoff, general manager of the Radio Corporation of America, addressed the members of the course on "The Development of the Radio Art and the Radio Industry since 1920."

General Harbord enlisted in the United States Army in 1889, and served for a number of years in the western states. After a term of service in the Philippines, he returned to the United States, and was selected by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt '80 as a Brigade Commander in the division which he hoped to be allowed to raise for the World War.

He accompanied General John J. Pershing to France as Chief of Staff of the American Expeditionary Forces in May, 1917, and was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General in August of that year.

After seeing action in France, General Harbord was re-appointed Chief of Staff and in this capacity visited the Near East with the American Military Mission to Armenia in 1919.
