The University will give its first official reception to Dr. James Roland Angell since his election as President of Yale University, at the annual dinner of the Union, to be held at 6.30 this evening in the Magazine Room. President-Elect Angell will be the guest of honor and the main speaker. The other speakers will be President Eliot, President Lowell, Dean Charles H. Haskins, Professor Clifford H. Moore '89 and R. K. Kane '22, Vice-President of the Union. Mr. George Wigglesworth '74, President of the Union, will act as toastmaster.
It is expected that there will be about one hundred guests. These will include members of the Corporation, the Board of Overseers, and the Faculty, Deans of the Graduate Schools, class officers, captains and managers of the five major sport teams, and presidents of the various undergraduate publications.
During the dinner six prizes, offered by the Union, will be presented to the winners. There are four equal prizes for Freshmen who, by Mid-Years, had attained high scholastic standing and prominence in general class activities. The other two prizes are the first and second awarded in the Union's Best Essay Competition. More than seventy-five manuscripts were handed in for this competition, which ended three months ago.
President-Elect Angell took his degree of M.A. at the University of Michigan in 1891, and in 1892 received the same degree from the University. He then became an instructor in phychology at the University of Minnesota, and later became connected with the University of Chicago, of which he was made Dean in 1911. In 1914 he was an exchange professor at the Sorbonne in Paris. Among his best-known works are "Psychology," and "Chapters from Modern Psychology."
