Harvard and Cambridge Heads Greet Each Other Across the Sea

Cambridge talks with Cambridge this morning when President Lowell and Vice-Chancellor Weekes of Cambridge University inaugurate the new commercial telephone service between New England and London.

The head of Harvard and the head of Cambridge will exchange greetings at 8.30 o'clock this morning. President Lowell will speak from the offices of the New England Telephone and Telegraph Company on Oliver Street, Boston. He will deliver a prepared message to Vice-Chancellor Weekes. Weather conditions, and report last night indicated that the conversation would not be interrupted by static to any great extent.

The new telephone service connects, all New England with London and an area around the English metropolis within a radius of 110 miles. The first transatlantic telephone conversation in history took place this month between New York and London, but today's exchange of messages will mark the opening of the first of such systems of communication in this district.

Vice-Chancellor Weekes, speaking from London, will not be making an after-breakfast telephone call as will President Lowell. It will be afternoon in England when he speaks. The hour of the inauguration of the new line was selected with a view toward-favorable climatic conditions and the convenience of the customers who will begin using the line shortly after the formal opening.
