The exercises for the formal opening of Phillips Brooks House will be held this afternoon and evening. In the afternoon the building will be formally handed over to the University, and President Eliot will make a speech of acceptance. This will take place in the upper room of Brooks House, before an audience made up of a limited number of invited guests. The exercises will begin at four o'clock and admission cards will not be required. Mr. R. T. Paine '55 will preside and make the presentation speech. After the acceptance by President Eliot, Mr. E. A. Abbott '55, treasurer of the building committee, will explain the subscription list, which is made up of more than 600 names of purely voluntary subscribers from all parts of the world. The fund amounts to $70,000. Dr. Peabody will then make a speech on the uses of the building.

At eight o'clock in the evening a mass meeting in memory of Phillips Brooks will be held in Sanders Theatre. Dr. G. A. Gordon '81, Professor F. G. Peabody '69, Bishop Lawrence '71, Dr. C. Cuthbert Hall, Rev. Endicott Peabody, and President Eliot will each make a short address. After this the Glee Club will sing three songs: "Integer Vitae," "Harvard Hymn," and "Onward Christian Soldiers." The audience is expected to join in the last two. The meeting will be presided over by Gibson Bell '01, chairman of the student committee, and will be open to the public. The first balcony will be reserved for undergraduates until 7.55.
