| Russell Colgate, of the class of '96
! Yale, delivered a very interesting lee
ture last evening at 6:45 in Dwight
| hall before the students of the univer-
sity The hall was nearly filled with
members of all four classes. Mr.. Col

| East, and his lecture was illustrated
| by seventy-five handsome pictures, all
taken by him on his trip around the
| world with a classmate, Thomas Arch

and lasted six months, during which
time Mr.. Colgate and Mr.. Archibald
had the pleasure of meeting several
Yale men scattered all through the
East engaged in missionary work.
The lecturer related several interest
ing experiences that took place during
the long trip and at the conclusion
hoped that all those who have the OPP
portunity will take the journey as he
believed the presence of white people
did great deal Of good in many places
in the far East. Mr.. Colgate said that
there was a great field for the mis-
sionary in India, Japan and China,
probably more so than any other places
in the world. He said the life of the
missionary was an extremely hard one
at first in there countries, but that as
soon as the languages and the customs
of the people We're learned, the chief
difficulty is overcome.
The lecturer and his companion made
the trip simply as one of pleasure and
experience. and said at no time were
they connected in missionary work.
They started from New York, and con-
trary to the general course taken by
tourists to the other continent, went
eastward across the Atlantic to Gibral-
ia.
I'VE found the great fortress just
about as we expected" he said, except
that there was no Prudential adver-
tisement cut in the sides" The course
was then to Genoa and from thence to
Cairo, where a few days were spent.
By way of the Suez canal the travellers
went to Bombay, where they remained
two weeks, Calcutta, Singapore. Hong
Kong, Manila, Shanghai and other
places in China and Japan were visit

man they met doing missionary work
in the East was George Eddy '92, who
was located in a small and hot village
in India trying to, and successfully in
Producing Christianity there. Mr..
Eddy met setbacks for three years there
and at times was Kissed and run out
of the town. At Singapore Mr.. Hume,
the father of two New Haven boys who
graduated In 81 and SO, was met by
the explorers, and a most interesting
three days was spent together. While |
in Manila the lecturer and his friend |
came across two Yale heroes Gus Led
yard and Ward Cheney, who We're shot |
while fighting for their country in the |

heroes were shown in their campaign
