FIRST UNIVERSITY TEA

The first of the University teas for the year will be held this afternoon from 4 to 6 o'clock in the Parlor of Phillips Brooks House. The object of the teas is to provide an opportunity for students to meet one another informally, and to bring them into closer relations with the officers of the University and their families, particularly with those professors whom they do not meet in the class room. As in former years, the management of the teas will be in the hands of a permanent executive committee made up of certain members of the Faculty and their wives, and ten or twelve members of this committee will be present on each Friday afternoon. In addition, a number of men from the undergraduate classes and the Graduate Schools have been asked to serve as ushers, and a number of them will be present each time. President and Mrs. Eliot will be present as often as possible.

Invitations have been sent out to all members of the University to attend the teas, which will be held as usual during December, January, and February on Friday afternoons.
