NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

F. L. Olmsted, Jr., '94, has been appointed Charles Eliot Professor of Landscape Architecture. The Charles Eliot professorship was established last spring and is to be supported with a portion of the earnings of the fund of $300,000 which was given to the University in 1899 by Mr. Nelson Robinson of New York, in memory of his son Nelson Robinson, Jr.

Professor Olmsted has been an instructor in Landscape Architecture in the University for the past four years. He is also a member of the firm of Olmsted Brothers, Landscape Architects, whose offices are in Brookline.

The professorship is named in honor of the late Charles Eliot, a son of President Eliot.
