PROF. RICHARDS P. B. K. ORATOR

The University chapter of Phi Beta Kappa has selected, for its Commencement exercises, Professor Theodore W. Richards '86 as orator, and Robert Frost as poet.

Last fall Professor Richards received the first Nobel prize in chemistry ever given to an American. His human interest in all his problems will undoubtedly make his oration highly interesting, even though the audience is not composed of scientists.

Mr. Frost, the author of "North of Boston," has a marked power of analysis of the life about which he writes, and coupled with the integrity of his work it has won him a high place among poets. This selection by the Harvard scholars indicates their hospitality to the newer movements in letters.
