The program for the inauguration of Miss Ada Louise Comstock as President of Radcliffe College on Saturday October 20 will be ushered in by a concert at Symphony Hall on Friday evening to be given under the auspices of the Radcliffe Club and the Class of 1914.
The artists will be Edith Mason, the well known soprano of the Chicago Opera Company and Albert Spalding, a violin soloist with the New York Symphony Orchestra.

Later, as one of the soloists with the New York Symphony Orchestra he played to audiences in every part of Europe on the first European concert tour made by any American orchestra.
