NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor E. C. Moore, former president of the American board of commissioners for foreign missions, representing President Lowell, will receive on behalf of the Harvard Corporation the 1200 British Congregational clergymen and laymen who arrived in Boston on the liner Celtic yesterday.

This delegation, coming from churches in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, comes to the United States to reaffirm the principles of individual liberty and democracy which brought the Mayflower to Plymouth in 1620.
