BAKER IS GUEST OF HONOR AT BUSINESS SCHOOL DINNER

Receives Great Ovation--Tributes Paid by Bishop Lawrence and Sprague

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Officers, students, and alumni of the University gathered last night in the Living Room of the Union at the annual dinner of the Business School Club to pay homage to the guest of honor, Mr. George F. Baker of New York City, the donor of the $5,000,000 Baker Foundation to be erected across the Charles.

The climax of the impressive tribute to Mr. Baker came when Colonel L. S. Morey 2G.B., President of the Business School Club, led a long Harvard cheer with three "Bakers" at the end.

Professor O. M. W. Sprague '94 and Bishop William Lawrence '71, were the main speakers of the evening. Both paid high tribute to the distinguished guest.
