Joubert, of South Africa, gave an illustrated lecture at the College Saturday night on the subject, "The Boer War." The lecture was replete with informa tion and abounded in keen sar casm and humor. Gen. Joubert is a gentleman of perhaps 35 years of age, over six feet tall, and every inch a soldier in ap pearance. He was wounded three times and experiences great difficulty in walking as a result. He is a native-born South Afri can Boer, extremely modest and has some difficulty in speaking Jinghsh. He recounted the many early struggles of the Dutch to colon ize South Africa, how theywere conquered by the English, pushed north where they founded the Orange Free State, were con quered again and pushed still farther north where they founded the Transvaal Republic, how they were robbed of the Kimber ly diamond fields, the struggle for 'the Rand gold mines, the Jamieson Raid and the final great war with the obliteration of the South African Dutch Republic. Most of his views were from photographs of actual battles and prominent men who took part in the war. His characterization of Cecil Rhoades was very signifi cant, "Here is the picture of the man who caused the whole trou ble, but he died unlamented and his body lies buried on the top of the Matoppo Hills on the bor derland between civilization and heathenism.
