BROOKS HOUSE RECEPTION

Phillips Brooks House will be open Christmas evening for the reception of all members of the University, whether or not members of the Brooks House Association. The festival, which will resemble that held Thanksgiving evening, will last from 6.45 until 10 o'clock.

Refreshments of various kinds will be served, and the entertainment will consist of music and readings. Professor I. L. Winter '86 and Mr. F. W. C. Hersey '99 will read from modern English authors. L. G. del Castillo '14 will play selections on the piano, and J. T. Lanman '15 will perform feats of "black magic."

The large Parlor will be cleared of all furniture and decorated with holly and a Christmas tree. Pillows will be laid about the floor and a big fire will be lighted in the open fire-place. This is the first Christmas festival that has ever been held in Brooks House and if it proves successful will undoubtedly be repeated in future years.
