DR. W. T. FOSTER WILL SPEAK TWICE IN MOSCOW HEAD OF REED COLLEGE WILL RELATE EXPERIENCES GAINED ABROAD
Two addresses are to be delivered in Dr. William of Reed, Moscow, Thursday by Trufant Foster, president of the college, according to announcement just made from the office of President Ernest H. Lindley of the university. The first, an assembly talk, will be given, in the university auditorium, Thursday morning at 11 o'clock and the second will be an evening address.
President Foster, who is understood to be one of the ablest public speakers in the northwest, has but recently returned from the western front, where he inspected all the varying details of Red Cross work now being carried on in northern France and in Belgium as a member of a commission of six men representing the American council of the mercy organization. His address, based entirely on first-hand experience, is said to be as forceful as it is vivid and interesting. It has been decided to have Dr. Foster deliver his evening address at the University of Idaho auditorium also. This is because he has a number of unusually fine pictures that he will wish to show in connection with his lecture and the university auditorium offers the best facilities for this. The lecture will be free, it will begin at the usual time and the public is cordially invited.
