CHRISTMAS FESTIVITIES PLANNED

A reading from the Scriptures by Presidents Charles William Eliot '53 will be the feature of the annual Phillips Brooks House "open house," which will be held for those who remain in Cambridge during the vacation on Christmas evening from 6 to 10 o'clock. An old-fashioned Christmas entertainment will be provided, and the usual apples, nuts, candy, doughnuts and cider will be served. A cordial invitation is extended by Phillips Brooks House to all members of the University who are in Cambridge on Christmas Day to attend this entertainment.

President Eliot will open the evening by reading the story of the Nativity from the Gospel of Saint Luke. Although nothing else has yet been arranged on the program, several performances will be provided, among them musical numbers, readings and sketches.

Last year more than 100 students were present at the "open house" on Christmas evening. They were entertained by a program containing the usual reading from the Bible, music by a quartet of Glee Club singers and by piano and violins soloists, and sketches by graduate students.
