City Council Opens Month-Long Exhibit To Honor Kennedy

The Cambridge City Council postponed all regular business yesterday to open a month-long John F. Kennedy Memorial Exhibit in City Hall. Mayor Edward A. Crane '35 said that many of the items on display would be offered to the University's Kennedy Library.

Among those attending the ceremonies were John Kenneth Galbraith, Paul M. Warburg Professor of Economics; James R. Killian, Jr., chairman of the M.I.T. board of trustees; Arthur N. Holcombe '06, Eaton Professor of the Science of Government, emeritus; and Bruce C. Hopper '18, associate professor of Government, emeritus.

Holcombe, a former chairman of the Government Department, gave courses to Joseph P. Kennedy '12 and to all his sons, and Hopper was the late President's tutor when he wrote his senior thesis, later published as Why England Slept.

The exhibit will be open from 8:30 to 10 p.m. on weekdays and from 2 to 10 p.m. on Sundays until the end of the period of national mourning.
