...week of celebration of John Harvard's three hundredth birthday was brought to a glorious finish last night when the undergraduate part of the program was carried out. President Eliot's address, the torch-light procession to the Stadium, the bonfire on Soldiers Field, and the return to the Yard were the features of the celebration.

The first sketching was made two years ago, during President Eliot's visit to England. As a companion to that of Major H. L. Higginson, painted also by Sargent, the portrait will hand in the same position which has been previously occupied by that of John Quincy Adams...
