the Number to Appear
at w. S. g.

Inc lWeuLlelu century CluD,
which has been instrumental in
bringing many prominent speakers to
w. S. c. within the last two years,
| has announced for next semester a
far more extensive program than it
has ever attempted before.
Many men, from all walks of life,
are to be brought here by the Twen-
tieth Century Club to give their par
ticular messages and views to the
students. The subjects upon which
they will speak will be extremely
diversified.
On January %, Mr.. Marchant,
former instructor in voice at w. S.
c., but now of Spokane, will give a
concert. He will be assisted by Mr..
Greenwood at the piano and by Mrs.
Shirl Blalock, sololst.
Commissioner c. M. Fassett of
Spokane will talk to the students on
the morning of February IL on
Ideals of citizenship"
Dr. Woods Hutchinson, with whom
We are all familiar because of his
numerous articles in the periodicals,
will talk to the students at IL o'clock
on February "a. DR.. Woods Hutch
inson is one of the most widely
known doctors in the United States
as well as having achieved fame as
a teacher and writer. The Twenti-
eth Century Club is indeed fortunate
il securing him to speak to us.
On some date yet to be determined
between February 20 and %, Seu-
mas MacManus, The Irish Poet of
Donegal" will give two lectures. In
the morning he will lecture on Irish
Story Telling" and in the evening he
will give Merry Ramble Round
Ireland" which will consist of read
ings from his own prose and verse.
This lecture will be illustrated. He
tells his stories with Irish wit and
humor which a native Celt alone can
have.
The dates of the remaining num-
bers have not yet been definitely es-
tablished and will be announced
later.
Hon. w. T. Lopp, chief of the Alas
ka Division of the Bureau of Edu-
cation and superintendent of the
reindeer service in Alaska, will give
an illustrated lecture ON Reindeer
and Our Last Frontier" This, of
course, will be doubly interesting be-
cause of the attention which Alaska
is receiving at the present time.
DR.. Mark Mathews, moderator of
the Presbyterian Church in America
and pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church of Seattle, will lecture here
in the near future. President F. f.
Westbrook of the University of Brit
ish Columbia, who is now travelling
in Europe, will lecture on some
phase of European education.
Mr. e. S. Curtis, the we'll known
authority on Indian life, who lee
tIred here last year, will return and
give a lecture on Religion of the
Indians"
The Twentieth Century Club has
also arranged for two art exhibits.
One will be an exhibition of minia-
ture paintings and the other, an oil
painting exhibit of the works of liv-
ing American artists. The value of
the oil pointings exhibited will be in
the neighborhood of $4,000.
Plans are also being made for the
work of the club next year. Arrange
ments have been made whereby Ly-
man Abbott, editor of the Outlook"
will come from New York City and
give a series of lectures at w. S. c.
DR.. Abbott will remain here about a
week and will hold conferences with
the students, both collectively and
individually. This Is the only place
in the Northwest where Mr.. Abbott
will speak and excursions may be run
from the nearby cities. We are in
deed fortunate in securing Mr.. Alb
bott, who is man rs years old, and
he will come practically across the
continent for the series of lectures
here. He will be accompanied by his
daughter and will probably reach
Pullman October or 7.
