The Rev. Lord Rupert William Ernest Gascoyne-Cecil, rector of Bishop's Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England, will conduct prayers in Appleton Chapel this morning, in place of the Rev. Dr. Alexander Mann. Lord Cecil, who is a son of the third Marquis of Salisbury, graduated from University College, Oxford, in 1886, and received the degree of M.A. in 1889. He has been rural dean of Hertford since 1904, and honorary chaplain to the King since 1909.
Lord Cecil has been to China several times, and he is in America at present to arouse interest in a scheme for founding a college there, originally inaugurated by the alumni and a few undergraduates of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The proposed college is to be on the plan of the English universities, and to offer instruction in all similar subjects.
Lord Cecil has already visited Yale and Columbia, and intends later to go to the University of Chicago.
