Award of Academic Distinctions.

A meeting for the announcement of academic distinctions will be held this evening at 8 o'clock in Sanders Theatre. After a statement of the purposes of the meeting by Professor LeBaron R. Briggs, who is to preside, an address will be made by Senator George F. Hoar '46, on the quality and accomplishment necessary to fit a young man for public speaking and for leadership in the public life of the country. The announcement of prizes will then be made and the deturs awarded. The singing of the Harvard Hymn at the opening and of Fair Harvard at the close, will be led by the College Choir.

Whereas admission last year was only by ticket, this year the Committee, with a view to emphasizing the importance of academic distinctions, has decided to hold a public meeting. The winners of the Bowdoin and other prizes, the men who obtained second year and final honors, those to whom deturs will be awarded and the scholars of the first and second groups, together with the governing boards of the University, the presidents of the undergraduate classes and a few other persons, have been formally invited. For these invited guests, seats have been reserved on the main floor; and for members of the University, the remainder of the floor and the entire first gallery. The upper gallery will be open to the public.
