At the regular weekly meeting in the New Lecture Hall tomorrow evening at 8.15 o'clock, Dr. R. H. Lord '06, will speak on the present conditions in Russia. This will be the third of the University War Lectures. Dr. Lord spent several weeks of last summer in the newly-formed republic and has made a very close study of the military as well as the political and economic aspects of the situation there. He has delivered several other lectures on this subject.
In an address to the Cosmopolitan Club on October 26, when Kerensky's position seemed secure, he spoke of the Premier as a man "of great energy, enthusiasm, eloquence and integrity." He was also very optimistic about the future. "Everyone expects serious outbreaks this year," he said, "but I feel sure that Russia will eventually pull through, although not without many hard knocks."
The lecture will be open to all members of the University, but not to the public.
