At a reception entitled "The Last Act" presented last night by the 47 Workshop at Agassiz Theatre, the Workshop presented Professor G. P. Baker '87 with a purse of $1,100 as a farewell gift.

Last night's reception was attended by Professor Baker's former workers and associates in the Workshop. Short speeches were made by J. M. Brown '23, Miss Dorothy Sands, J. P. Munroe, Miss Agnes Morgan, Judge F. T. Hammond '92, and H. F. Carlton, in which they told anecdotes and human interest stories of his life in connection with the Workshop.

Dean L. B. R. Briggs '75 who presided at the meeting, presented Professor Baker with a purse of $1,100 to be used to purchase certain technical books for his own personal use in his own library, and not to be part of the university library at Yale."

Professor Baker followed Dean Briggs and responded to the praises of all those who spoke before him with a short talk in which he expressed his thanks and appreciation for all the help that the Workshop audience and workers, who composed his audience last night, had given him in English 47.
