Traditional House Ceremonies Draw Alumni, Students

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

One of Eliot Houses strongest traditions will be renewed tonight when Archibald MacLeish speaks at the first post-war annual dinner in the House dining hall.

MacLeish, former Librarian of Congress and member of the UNESCO delegation at the Paris conference, will address more than 25 House alumni in addition to the undergraduate members. He will leave for Paris immediately following the dinner, to lead the United States delegation there.

Feature House Event
