For the first time in over a quarter of a century, Charles T. Copeland '82, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, emeritus, will not give his annual Christmas reading to the Freshmen, because of a press of work.

However "Copey," as he was affectionately known to a generation of students, will read at President Conant's Christmas Eve Party, and students of the Class of '42, keenly disappointed at the break in this tradition, are in hopes that he will come later in the year to the Union to deliver a reading from the Bible.
