The announcement of a gift of $1,250,000 to the University from its Alumni was one of the surprise features in the celebration held yesterday afternoon to commemorate the ninetieth birthday of President Eliot.
This announcement came at the end of a series of addresses of greeting to the President-Emeritus in Sanders Theatre, when the Rt. Rev. William Lawrence '71, Bishop of Massachusetts, in a brief speech of presentation, declared that such a sum had been recently contributed by Harvard alumni "for the better support of certain departments in the University."
It is rumored that part, at least, of the income will be devoted to the establishment of a tutorial system in the department of English.
