The annual dinner of the Governing Board of the Union, on March 28, will be in honor of the President and Fellows of Harvard College, it was announced yesterday.
This marks a departure from former years, as hitherto a single man has been selected as guest of honor, while this is the first time a group of men has been so honored.
The six men, besides President Lowell, who will be honored, are: William Lawrence '71, John Farwell Moors '83, Charles Francis Adams '88, Jeremiah Smith Jr. '92, Thomas Nelson Perkins '91, and Charles Pelham Curtis Jr. '13. At least two of these men will speak at the dinner. The other guests will be announced within a few days.
Mr. Lawrence is bishop of Massachusetts and an ecclesiastical writer of national importance. He is chairman of the trustees of St. Mark's and Groton schools, and has been a Fellow of Harvard since 1913. Mr. Moors is the senior member of the broker firm of Moors and Cabot and president of the Public School Association. Mr. Perkins has practiced law in Boston since 1894 and is vice-president of the firm of Ropes., Gray, Boyden, and Perkins. Mr. Curtis is also a Boston lawyer. Mr. Smith was with the American Mission to negotiate peace as counsel to the Treasury Department, and at the close of the Great War was prominent in establishing Hungary's finances on a firm basis. Mr. Adams was elected treasurer of the Corporation of Harvard College in 1898. He was an amateur skipper on the yacht "Resolute", which won the International Yacht Races in 1920.
The dinner will be strictly formal and will be limited to 250 people, including the guests. Applications for tickets, which will be about $2, are now being received at the newsstand
