COPELAND TO READ AFTER CHRISTMAS DINNER AT UNION

Selections from Thackeray, Kipling, O. Henry and Leacock will feature the thirty-second reading of Charles Townsend Copeland '82, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, Emeritus, tonight in the Upstairs Common Room of the Freshman Union at 8 o'clock. Professor Copeland, who has given a Christmas reading at the Union yearly since its initial year of existence, will face, for the first time, however, an all-Freshman audience. Only first year men will be admitted, and as the Upstairs Common Room has a limited capacity, a great many of the members of the Class of 1935 will probably be turned away. No tickets have been issued, first arrivals getting preference.

Before the reading, during the regular meal hour, there will be a 1935 Christmas dinner. The large dining room will be appropriately decorated in holly and laurel, with fires going in the large fireplaces. A. C. Hanford, dean of the College, Delmar Leighton '19, dean of the freshmen, Matthew Luce '91, regent of the University, Henry Pennypacker '88, chairman of the Committee on Admissions, with W. J. Bender '27 and Henry Chauncey '27, 1935 assistant deans, will all be guests of the first year class and have dinner at the Union.

The novelty of the evening will be the appearance of the eleven-piece Gold Coast Orchestra during dinner, through the courtesy of the officers of the Harvard Instrumental Clubs. The Gold Cost will play its Christmas trip numbers from the balcony which over-looks the large dining room. In addition to the Gold Coast orchestra, L. L. Thurber '34, chairman of the Specially Division of the Instrumental Clubs, announces that at 7.30 o'clock in the large common room, twenty minutes of specialty Numbers will be put on for the Class of 1935.

D. B. Bates, E. F. Bowditch, R. S. Brookings, C. K. Howard, A. S. Pier, and E. H. Pier compose the Freshman Committee which is in charge of the evening's entertainment.
