RUPERT B. LILLIE AND PRESIDENT CONANT ARE SCHEDULED TO SPEAK BEFORE SUMMER SCHOOL

Architect Studied Early Archives

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Rupert B. Lillie, whose years of research into the archives of Harvard and Cambridge have yielded several publications on the design and appearance of Boston and vicinity during its early history, will give the first lecture for the Summer School on "Picturesque and Historic Cambridge" at 8:00 P.M. in the New Lecture Hall.

A graduate of the Harvard School of Design in 1935, as well as the University of Maryland, Lillie began his research in the desire to illuminate evidence of pre-revolutionary estates comparable with those of the South. The work has since branched into historical research of Cambridge for a period of two hundred years and has extended to Boston, Newport, R. I., and Portsmouth, N. H.

All those attending are urged to bring their maps of Old Cambridge. The lecture will be illustrated.
