President's Trip Is First Official Visit

By Milton S. Gwirtzman

President Pusey will climax his first official visit to the West Coast tonight with an address before the combined Harvard Clubs of Southern California. The event, which marks the first visit of a University President to the Coast in nine years, is scheduled to attract 1000 alumni, family and friends to the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles.

Pusey's talk will include a report on recent developments at the University and an exposition of his own philosophy of education.

The President's visit, which includes a reception and dinner, is considered the most important Harvard event in Los Angeles in many years. It is being sponsored jointly by the Harvard Club of Southern California, and the Business, Law and Medical Schools' Alumni Associations.

To Arrive This Morning

Pusey, whose three years of office have been marked by revitalization of the Divinity School and preparation for expansion of both facilities and enrollment at the College, was to have arrived in Los Angeles this morning. He was to be greeted at the airport by Robert E. Gross '19, president of Lockheed Aircraft. At a reception scheduled for 6:30 this evening, he was to be joined by Deeb E. Peter '34, president of the Harvard Club of Southern California; William H. Burgess '41 Bus., president of the Business School Club of Southern California; Dana Latham '22 Law, president of the Law School Association of Southern California; and Lowell F. Bushnell '33 Med., president of the Medical Alumni Association of Southern California.

Pusey is in Los Angeles on his annual tour of Harvard Clubs. While there, he will also attend a luncheon at Town Hall. On Wednesday, he will speak at the Harvard Club.
