President Eliot will deliver the first of the Godkin Lectures for 1907-08 on "Municipal Government" in the lecture room of the Fogg Art Museum this evening at 8 o'clock, taking as his subject "Municipal Mis-Government; the Evils and their Causes." The lecture will be open to the public.

The Godkin Lectures are delivered under an endowment given to the University in 1903 by the friends of Edwin L. Godkin, the late editor of the "Nation," as a memorial of his long and distinguished service to the country of his adoption. The income of the Fund is devoted to the delivery and publication of annual lectures upon "The Essentials of Free Government and the Duties of the Citizen," or upon some part of that subject. The lectureship was inaugurated in 1904 by the Rt. Hon. James Bryce, whose subject was "The Study of Popular Governments."
