The annual reception and dinner of the University Chapter of Phi Beta Kappa to the 24 recently elected members from the Junior and Senior classes will take place in the Trophy Room of the Union at 7 o'clock this evening. Today is the anniversary of the founding of the Harvard branch, or Alpha Chapter, of the Society, which was first established in the University in 1781.

Walt '82, Justice of the Superior Court of Massachusetts, will speak, as well as several graduate members. All graduate and undergraduate members of the University Chapter and all members of other Phi Beta Kappa chapters have been asked to attend.
