The program for the inauguration of Miss Ada Louise Comstock as President of Radcliffe College on Saturday October 20 will be ushered in by a concert at Symphony Hall on Friday evening to be given under the auspices of the Radcliffe Club and the Class of 1914.

The artists will be Edith Mason, the well known soprano of the Chicago Opera Company and Albert Spalding, a violin soloist with the New York Symphony Orchestra.

Miss Mason, in adition to her recent success in the United States, has achieved a notable reputation in foreign concert halls. She began her studies in Paris, where she sang for two years at the Opera Comique, and she also sang at the Casinon in Monte Carlo. Miss Mason also sang with great success in the opera houses of Mexico City and Havana previous to her engagement with the Chicago Opera Company.

Mr. Spalding is also a musician of wide experience. His early studies were under the leading violinists of New York, Florence and Bologna, and his first public appearance was in Paris with Adelina Patti. Later, as one of the soloists with the New York Symphony Orchestra he played to audiences in every part of Europe on the first European concert tour made by any American orchestra.

Patronesses for the concert will include Mrs. George P. Baker, Mrs. Charles Almy, Mrs. LeBaron R. Briggs, Mrs. A. Lawrence Lowell, Mrs. E. S. Rousmaniere, Mrs. B. S. Hurlburt, Mrs. Philip L. Spaulding, Mrs. A. M. Tozzer, Mrs. Bliss Perry, Mrs. C. N. Greenough, and Mrs. Kuno Francke.

The chief feature of the program for Saturday will be the inauguration services for Miss Comstock in Sanders Theatre at 11 A. M. The Academic Procession, will form at 10.30 A. M. in the Church of the New Jerusalem at Quincy and from there proceed to Sanders Theatre.
