The program for the inauguration of Miss Ada Louise Comstock as President of Radcliffe College on Saturday October 20 will be ushered in by a concert at Symphony Hall on Friday evening to be given under the auspices of the Radcliffe Club and the Class of 1914.

Miss Mason also sang with great success in the opera houses of Mexico City and Havana previous to her engagement with the Chicago Opera Company.

Mr. Spalding is also a musician of wide experience. His early studies were under the leading violinists of New York, Florence and Bologna, and his first public appearance was in Paris with Adelina Patti. Later, as one of the soloists with the New York Symphony Orchestra he played to audiences in every part of Europe on the first European concert tour made by any American orchestra.

Patronesses for the concert will include Mrs. George P. Baker, Mrs. Charles Almy, Mrs. LeBaron R. Briggs, Mrs. A. Lawrence Lowell, Mrs. E. S. Rousmaniere, Mrs. B. S. Hurlburt, Mrs. Philip L. Spaulding, Mrs. A. M. Tozzer, Mrs. Bliss Perry, Mrs. C. N. Greenough, and Mrs. Kuno Francke.
