The National Institute of Arts and Letters will be entertained at a reception given by President and Mrs. Lowell tonight at 9 o'clock. This year is the first time that the Institute has held its sessions in Boston. The first official meeting will take place tomorrow and will be followed by a dinner at the Harvard Club of Boston. The Institute presents a medal each year to the greatest and most productive American in some one branch of the Fine Arts. Each of the arts is taken in turn in successive years and nine years are thus necessary for the complete cycle. This year the medal will be awarded to the author who has done most for fiction in the United States, and the presentation will take place on Friday.
