IN WINTER QUARTERS WITH CAPTAIN SCOTT 229 



WINTER LECTURES. 



Some members of the community have very kindly consented to 

 give a series of lectures during the forthcoming winter, the programme 

 of which is attached hereto. 



These lectures are arranged for each week, to be given on Mondays, 

 Wednesdays, and Fridays, after the evening meal. 



It is proposed that each lecture should be followed by a discussion, 

 conducted on ordinary debating lines, and regulated by myself as chair- 

 man. The time occupied by the lecturer will be about one hour. It 

 it not thought advisable to attempt to impose a time limit on the 

 subsequent discussion. Attendance at lectures is purely voluntary, and 

 neither the lecturer nor the chairman will feel aggrieved if any person 

 prefers to read a novel or otherwise employ his time.
