For 23 years Charles Townsend Copeland '82, Boylston Professor of Rhetoric and Oratory, emeritus, has given annual Christmas readings to the Freshmen. Tomorrow evening at 7.30 o'clock he will give the twenty-fourth reading in the Upper Common Room of the Union.
Kendric N. Marshall '21, instructor in Government, who introduced Copey last year as "the tradition, known from the wilds of Arabia to the plains of China, where mothers still their babes with the word that Copey shall read to them if they are good," will preside again.
As usual, Cobey has declined to announce his reading matter, but if he follows last year's precedent, there will be lighter entertainment, for he quoted boners taken from the papers of students who were entering a western college.
Professor Copeland has expressed his intention of continuing his annual readings to the Freshmen until he has passed the century mark. Some years he has made two readings, but this is the only opportunity in sight to hear him.
The reading will follow the Christmas Dinner, served from 5.30 to 7 o'clock in the Union.
