...important addition to the notable series of lectures already given in the Union this year will be that by Mr. H. Roswell Bates tonight upon "The New York Underworld." Mr. Bates, by reason of his long service as director of the famous Spring Street Settlement House, in New York, is peculiarly qualified to discuss the social problems presented by the "underworld" of the metropolis.

...Delta Upsilon Society in the Living Room, and so has made arrangements for a presentation to its members in Brattle Hall. This effort on the part of the Union to render the greatest possible service to members deserves hearty commendation and shows that there is absolutely no reason for any decline in the popularity of the institution. That the production to be given in Brattle Hall tonight is well worth seeing has been attested by previous performances, and the members of the Union should take advantage of the Society's courtesy and the Union's efficiency, and enjoy a pleasant...
