Dinner at Apthorp

About a hundred members of the Faculty, officers of the University, and guests of Adams House will attend a dinner Monday evening in honor of the two hundredth anniversary of Apthorp House.

The House was a colonial home and Gold Coast dormitory before its conversion in 1930 into the residence of the Master of Adams House.

Speakers at the dinner will include President Pusey and James Finney Baxter III '14, first Master of Adams, during whose tenure President Abbott Lawrence Lowell restored the building for its present use as the Adams Master's residence.

At the same time, Apthorp House, by Wendell D. Garrett, editor of the Adams papers, will be published under the auspices of the Harvard University Press.

Apthorp House, built in 1760 by East Apthorp, one of the principal donors of King's Chapel, is one of four structures the University has marked for special attention as historic sites.
