HARVARD HOUSE OPENS. :.
Exercises at Stratford-on-Avon IL
Charge Of Ambassador Reid.

| Special Cabegram to The Star
LONDON, October 6-Harvard house at
Stratford-on-Avon, which Edward Morris
of Chicago, at the suggestion Of Marie
Corelli, the novelist. purchased and pre-
scented to Harvard University, was for
mally opened today by Mr.. Reid, the
American ambassador. The ceremony CO.
incided with the installation Of Abbot
Lawrence Lowell as president of Harvard
University. at Cambridge. Mass.
A large number of distinguished people
attended today's ceremony at Stratford-
on-Avon. The speakers included the Bish-
op of Winchester. r. c. Lehman. NJ P.
Sir Thomas Upton and Prof. William
Chawner, master of Emanuel Cci.ege,
Cambridge.
The house is a fine specimen of sixteenth
century architecture. 1t was built in 1886
by Thomas Rogers. an alderman of STRAIT
ford-On-Avon, whose daughter married
Robert Harvard and became the mother
Of John Harvard. the founder of Harvard
University.
Marie .Corelli rescued the building from
the state of neglect and disrepair into
which it had fallen. and it's furnishing
and restoration was conducted under her
supervision. All trace of modernism was
removed and the house was brought back
as near as possible to its original condi-
ton.
Ambassador Reid, in his address, after
pointing out the coincidence Of the open
ing of Harvard house and the installation
of President Lowell. said: The outcome
is realization that the two countries
cannot escape racial relationship. nor the
fact that in constant common devotion to
the historical ideals and aspirations of
the race lays the best hope of civilization
and the peace of mankind. From STRAIT
ford n-Avon there started two streams
of influence which profoundly affected the
world. One bore with 1t the beginning of
liberal education in America and the
