At a reception to be given this afternoon at 5 o'clock by the department of Music, M. Maurice Ravel, noted French composer who will conduct Thursday evening's symphony concert in Sanders Theatre, will be officially welcomed to the University.

M. Ravel is on his first trip to America, and his visit as guest conductor of the Boston Symphony will be celebrated by the presentation of an all-Ravel program on Thursday evening.

Hill '94, head of the Music Department, that the following members of the University faculty will be present with their wives at this afternoon's reception in the Glee Club rooms in the Music Building: President Lowell, Professor W. R. Spalding '87, Professor A. T. Davison '06, and others.
