JAMES TO PREPARE LIFE AND LETTERS OF PRESIDENT ELIOT

Mr. James, an Overseer of the University and a personal friend of the late President, is well known for his literary achievements and particularly for his work in the field of biography. His most famous work was the life and letters of his father, Professor William James. He will be the first biographer to have complete access to the letters and other contents of the files of the late President Eliot.
