The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-06-29
ESTABLISHED 1912.

to meet him in New York, Saturday.
Probably all five of the gentlemen Will
be in Worcester by the third of July,
for they have been told that unless
they wish to participate in a typical
Fourth of July celebration, they would
best flee, the big cities. AS they are to
be entertained largely by cities and
clubs, wherever else they go, it is to be
hoped that this most distinguished
group of scientists who have ever Wis
tied this country may also be enter
tanned in Worcester. Although each is
known to the other by reputation it is
quite likely that they are not acquaint-
ed. For each, it is the first visit to this
country. Prof. Mosso and Prof. FOrel
will be DIR. Halls guests.
For these lectures a form of invita-
ton has been issued by the university
to about 200 of the most eminent men
of science in the country and already
many acceptances have been received.
As these lectures are strictly addressed
to experts, and in forign tongue, it
has been thought that the public would
not care to attend them, but tickets
will be gladly distributed to all those
who may care for them, and these, as
to every one, will be gratuitous.
Probably the first lecture will be Civ
en- on Wednesday evening, July 5,
which will allow ample time for the
guests to arrive. Thursday evening
DR.. Hall will give a reception in honor
of the five European visitors, to which
those in Worcester who are interested
| and the visitors from the various uni
versities Of the country will be invited,
| but not a large crowd.
Friday evening 1t is planned to give
| several dinners FOR the distinguished
| guests, DR.. Story giving one for Prof.
| Picard, DR.. Webster entertaining in
honor of Prof. Boltzmann and DR..
| Hall for Prof MossO, Prof. Ramon V
| Cajal and Prof. Forel
This will conclude the first Part Of
| the celebration. Monday forenoon at
1870 o'clock, will be given the second
| or public part to which the public is
| invited. The program Is not as yet
| definitely made out, but it will begin
| with brief addresses by several college
| presidents, the reading of a few Of the
| many congratulatory letters that have
| been received from people of distinc-
| ton both in Europe and in this coun-
| try, brief statements of the work of
| each department by the treasurer, Or.

Han on the history Of the university
| during the past 10 years, its present
condition and future prospects ana the
comforting of a few degrees.
The comforting of a number of hon
crary degrees is under discussion, but
1t is not likely that they will be given.
number of Phi. DIS. will be con-
ferred, however upon graduate stu
dents Of the university, this being the
first time in the history of the uni
versity that degrees will have been
conferred in public. Another point Of
interest connected with the celebration
| IS the fact that the faculty having
| adopted the academic gown, will wear
| it then. for the first time.
Monday evening, July 9, there will
be a reception at the university build
ing, invitations for which to the num-
Der Of 800, will shortly be issued ir the
| name Of the president, the faculty ana
the trustees of the university. There
will be music, refreshments and ap-
propriate decorations and with this
festivity, the celebration of the 10th
anniversary of Clark university will Re
concluded.
All the lectures will be published in
the fall in memorial volume, which
will be memento Of the first decade
of the university.
