j. OF N. NOTES

On Tuesday evening. Oct. 10. a
famous author, widely known
throughout the world, will lecture at
Alumni hall. on the subject, Books
and Friendship" This famous au-
thor is no other than Hugh ,Walpolo,
who halls from England.
This lecture IL under the auspices
of the English Club. but President
Little is really the man who secured
Mr.. Walpole, by guaranteeing TO back
the project financially. In orde- that
the lecture may be a success, new
campaign has been organized. The
tickets are to be sold on the campus
beginning Monday. Oct. 9. and lasting
until the evening of the lecture. Two
teams of goods will sell the tickets
with the slogan of. One Hundred
Per Cent Sale" Team I will consist
of Capt. Nadine Gellerson. Antoinette
Gould, Marjorie Wiley. Terese lack
son, Louise Kincaid. Betty Kingsbury.
Iva Merchant, Mabel Peabody, and
Ruth Spear.
Capt. lone Irving, Betty Hunt.
Hortense Bryant, Angela Fossett,
Doris Hunter. Arbelle Hamilton,
Helena Bissonnette, Doris Twitchell.
and Margaret Ward will comprise
team No. 2.
Mr.. Walpole is as good a literary
critic as he is a novelist. He is a
very brilliant public speaker. Mr.
Walpole does not regard writing as
an amusement, but as serious
pursuit. In this work. one must give
his whole heart and soul. His CHAR
acters are created from his vivid
imagination, not simply portrayed
from some of his acquaintance. In
his writings his friends are totally
forgotten as far as the literary world
is concerned.
Mr.. Walpole is still young man,
under forty years old, but with keen
sense for writings. He has written
eleven novels which include those
famous stories of Russian life. "The
Dark Forest" are, "rhe Secret City"
Every tour that he has made in
America. he has been greeted with
overwhelming audiences. We hope
that this tour through Maine will be
even more successful. Mr.. Walpole
will address the students of Bowdoin
college and University Of Maine. He
is scheduled to speak in Portland.
