...Christmas was followed by "Bob Cratchett's Christmas Dinner," read by Professor Copeland, and readings from the poems of Kipling by Professor Henry Morse Stevens, of the University of California. Refreshments were served later in the evening. The guests included Dean and Mrs. Briggs, Dr. and Mrs. Albert Parker Fitch, Dean Hurlburt, Arthur Beane '11, and Professor R. B. Merriman...
