Copeland Will Give Usual Season's Reading in Union

Tuesday, December 19, Set as Date For Popular Freshman Affair

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Professor Charles Townsend Copeland '82, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, Emeritus, known to hundreds of Harvard alumni and undergraduates as "Copey," will give his annual Christmas reading at 4.30 o'clock on Tuesday, December 19. His selections have not yet been announced, but no matter what they are, a large gathering will certainly assemble to hear him read. His two readings last year, one of which was entirely from the King James version of the Bible, were attended by a large number of enthusiastic Freshmen who filled to overflowing the upstairs common room of the Union.

Although Professor Copeland is no longer in close connection with the Yard, he still preserves with great care his contact with the Freshmen by inviting certain chosen individuals to call on him.
