PREPARES LATIN ODE FOR ELIOT

Mr. Charles Alexander Nelson '60, for 50 years head of the Reference Section of the Columbia University Library, and at present the librarian of the Merchants' Association of New York, has prepared an adaptation of Horace, for the occasion of President Eliot's birthday celebration. The poem follows:

Ad Carolum Gulielmum Eliot

Integer vitae di ceptusque purus

Non eget laude nec blandito verbo,

Studiosorum cordibus infixus

Doctor amatus.

Sive per Veritatis vias ducens,

Sive electionem donans studiorum,

Facile princeps, omnibus praestans

Praeses supremus.
