e. L. Johnson, Chairman,
Newtown, Conn.
My dear Mr. Johnson 49,,
I trust you will
pardon my delay in replying to your
very kind letter of April Is, inviting
me to be present at NewtOwnS b.
Centennial celebration. The reason
for not acknowledging yours more
promptly was my wish to be sure that
nothing would prevent my acceptance.
l think L can say now safely that l
shall be present, and it vii! give me .
great deal Of pleasure to join with my
ance of the day. Beyond that, you
suggest that you will be glad to have
me take some part in the exercises. l
appreciate the compliment implied,
and should be very glad to say few
words to my old friends and neighbors,
but my own experience of such celebra-
tions is that there is usually surplus,
If anything, of speakers, and If select
some definite topic which shall appear
on your program, without knowing
who your other speakers are or what
line Of thought they propose to follow,
it seems to me that either my ''tive or
ten minutes" might be unduly pro-
longed, or possibly my line of thought
might be out of, harmony with the
other addresses. Would it not be well
to insert on your program some such
item as "Short Addresses by Former
Residents of Newtown,'' and if time
permitted, you could call on us for a
few words and we could be guided
somewhat by the length of the exer-
cjses up to that point.
I am very glad that the public
spirited citizens of NewtOwn are going
to commemorate this event in the
history of one Of the most beautiful
old towns in Connecticut, and If there
is anything can do to aid the project,
it will give ME much pleasure.
With kind regards, am

plainlv that the university, in order to
render the maximum of usefulness to the
state must have more ample aeeommoda-
lions for lecture room and dormitory
uses.
All of the professors are on the ground
ready to begin the real work Monday or
Tuesday, the first few days being de-
voted TO preliminaries.
