Apthorp Celebrates Bi-Centennial

Guests, friends of Adams House, and officers of the University celebrated the two-hundredth anniversary of Apthorp House right regally last night. As was fitting and proper for the birthday of the eighteenth century building, now the residence of the Master of Adams House, order, harmony, and good cheer reigned.

Those present included everyone from Robert Frost to the ghost of General Burgoyne. President Pusey, James Phinney Baxter III '17, the first Master of Adams House, Bernard Ballyn, associate professor of History, and Frost addressed the ceremonial dinner at Adams House.

Reuben A. Brower, Master of Adams House, presided, while the ghost of Burgoyne was such a well-behaved and rational enlightenment ghost that nobody noticed him.
