The inauguration of Professor Abbott Lawrence Lowell '77, LL.D., as President of the University, and the attendant ceremonies, will be held on Wednesday and Thursday, October 6 and 7.
On the first day the order of events will be for the most part similar to that followed on Commencement Day. The inauguration, which will take place in the morning, will follow as closely as possible the traditional program. The president of the Board of Overseers will induct the President-elect into office and will deliver to him the keys, the charter, and the seal of the College. Then will follow the inaugural address, and, lastly, honorary degrees will be conferred. In the afternoon the Harvard Alumni Association will entertain the Governing Boards, Faculties, and invited guests at luncheon. Later a meeting will be held in Memorial Hall, where a number of informal addresses will be made.
In order to accommodate the large number of guests who will wish to attend the ceremonies, it has been decided to hold the exercises in the open air on a platform which will be erected in front of University Hall.
The second day will be spent in entertainment of the guests of the University, who will be given opportunity to inspect all its departments.
