Freshmen Entering Lowell House Entertained at Dinner

Lowell House entertained prospective Bell boys and their parent Saturday evening at a dinner which was followed by speeches, music and drams.

Julian L. Coolidge '95, Master, made the featured address of the evening. He spoke of the traditions Lowell has which may be traced back of its eight years of existence. Richards M. Glimmer, Director of Admissions, spoke at length about the workings and aims of the Board of Admissions. Elliot H. Knowlton '38, now Chairman of the House Committee, read from the diary of a member of Lowell House.

The Higher part of the evening's program was furnished by two members of the House Dramatic Society who wrote and acted in a parody of the House teas. Four singers from the Madrigal Club presented some old English songs.

The dinner, the purpose of which was to welcome new men and tell their parents about the House, its institutions, and its workings, was attended by so many people that emergency tables had to be set up to cope with the hordes of diners. In spite of adverse conditions, the dining-room force managed to serve steak and asparagus to all comers.
