Spencer Funeral To Be Held Today In Christ Church

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Funeral services for Professor Theodore Spencer will be held at Christ Church at 12 noon today. Rev. Frederick B. Kellogg and Dean Sperry will officiate.

Interment of the Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, who died suddenly Tuesday morning of a heart attack, will take place in Philadelphia.

His death, which shocked the University and the literary world with its suddenness, ended an association with Harvard that began in 1927 when he came here as a graduate student. In 1946 he was appointed to the Boylston Professorship, one of the youngest men ever to hold that post.

Professor Spencer, who was a frequent contributor of articles and verse to literary magazines and whose latest collection of poems was published just this year, was a pioneer in the General Education program here, and his course in Shakespeare was widely attended.
