Professor Harold D. Fish has relinquished his teaching position this year for the lecture platform. Under the management of The Players Lecture Bureau, he offers two lectures on "Experiences Near a Jungle Laboratory, " and "By Canvas Canoe to Kaieteur Palls." The announcement circular has the following to say about Harold:
"Professor Fish organized the first university classes conducted in a tropical jungle. He sent students to Kartabo. It has become desirable to place a station further inland. With this in mind Professor Fish, using a canvas canoe for the first time one had ever navigated these waters, penetrated to the base of Kaieteur Falls. Less than a dozen white men have been there. Arrangements were made later with government officials to set aside a tract of land in the Guanian Highlands larger than the state of Vermontone of the finest national parks on earth.
"Professor Fish has distinguished himself before both popular and scientific audiences. His wealth of experience as a scientist, teacher, explorer, and public speaker qualifies him to address any type of audience. In some of the largest auditoriums in the country and under conditions adverse for speaking, he invariably has been well heard. Not only has he an excellent voice, a fluent, easy and effective delivery, and a simplicity and clearness of presentation, but also he has a fine personality and idealism. His lecture is always a splendid contribution to the program, his message is important, and he is one of the outstanding lecturers of the generation. His pictures are unsurpassed."
In another part of the MAGAZINE will be found an obituary notice of Ninian L. Wolf, the news of whose death last August has just reached your Secretary.
Secretary, Hanover, N. H.
