BROOKS HOUSE ANNIVERSARY

PRESIDENT LOWELL TO SPEAK AT MEETING TO COMMEMORATE ITS DEDICATION IN 1900.

The twelfth anniversary of the dedication of Phillips Brooks House will be celebrated by a meeting in Peabody Hall, Brooks House, this evening at 8.15 o'clock. The meeting will be open to all members and graduates of the University.

President Lowell will speak on "The Place that the Work at Phillips Brooks House should hold in College Activities," and will also speak of the life of Phillips Brooks. A. Beane '11, graduate secretary of the Phillips Brooks House Association will speak of the work that has been done by the Association, and will discuss the plans for the next half-year.

Phillips Brooks House was dedicated on January 23, 1900, the seventh anniversary of the death of Phillips Brooks. The idea of establishing a home for student religious societies had been in Phillips Brooks's mind and just before his death he suggested that such a building would be the best means of commemorating his life and perpetuating his influence at Harvard. Contributions for this memorial poured in from all parts of the country and in the fall of 1899 the building was completed. Since its opening the building has well served its purpose, as the centre of all philanthropic and religious work of the University.
