Professor Barrett Wendell '77 has been selected as the orator for the 1918 anniversary meeting of the University Chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society. This meeting is held each year on Phi Beta Kappa Day, the Monday preceding Commencement. Plans are now being made so that, in spite of the war, this tradition will not be broken. The poet for the occasion is to be Professor Stuart Pratt Sherman of the University of Illinois.
Last year Professor Wendell resigned from the University Faculty. Almost continuously since 1880 he had taught at the University, and during the last ten years was one of the most prominent members of the Faculty. Professor Sherman is a graduate of Williams College. In 1904 the University conferred upon him an A. M. degree, and in 1906 he was awarded the degree of Ph.D.
