President-elect John F. Kennedy '40 will visit the University today for the January meeting of the Board of Overseers. While in Cambridge he will also meet with Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. '38, professor of History, and other Faculty members at Schlesinger's home on Irving St.

Despite the presence of Kennedy, the agenda of the 30-member Board of Overseers will remain unchanged. At the morning session, held in the University Hall Faculty Room at 10:30 a.m., President Pusey will deliver his annual report on the state of the University. Other items of business may include a discussion of the University's Youth Corps program. The Yard will be closed to the public during Kennedy's visit.

At the conclusion of the business meeting around noon the President-elect will join the rest of the Overseers on an inspection tour of the Loeb Drama Center. The tour will be followed by an Overseers' luncheon at the Loeb.

Kennedy will go from the Loeb to spend the afternoon at Schlesinger's house, missing the Board's afternoon sessions. After lunch the Overseers will hear a symposium on "The Chemistry of Life."

Kennedy first will confer with Schlesinger, possibly to tell him he wants him to come to Washington in some writing or cultural affairs capacity. Asked about the possibility of his receiving an Administration post, Schlesinger replied, "I don't have the slightest idea what the President-elect wants to talk to me about. As far as I know, I will be meeting History 169 in February."

To Address Legislature

The President-elect will also hold other conferences at Schlesinger's home before leaving for a 5:30 address at the State House to a joint session of the Massachusetts Legislature. One firm piece of business Kennedy plans to conduct at Irving St. is a scheduled meeting with tax expert Stanley S. Surrey, Jeremiah Smith, Jr. Professor of Law.

Kennedy will be briefed by Surrey and others who conducted a task force study on the need for basic tax reforms on the Federal level. Kennedy's Press Secretary Pierre Salinger has said he will release the Surrey report probably late today. The report could conceivably recommend a clamp-down on the tax breaks given to Texas oil men by way of the oil depletion allowance.

In addition to the meetings with Schlesinger and Surrey, the President-elect may also meet with other Harvard, M.I.T., and Brandeis professors who helped him in the campaign. M.I.T. President Julius Stratton will confer with Kennedy today.
