President Conant on his return yesterday voted immediately in Ward 7, Precint 5, at the Baptist Church on Harvard and Prescott Streets. He refused to comment on national, international, or College affairs or to reveal which way he had voted.
Outlines Activities
He did however give a brief outline of his activities during his five weeks vacation. After leaving the boat he spent a week at Beaulieu in the south of England, and for the next two weeks he rented a car and drove down the coast.
After three weeks he and Mrs. Conant went to London, where Mrs. Conant stayed, while the President went up to Oxford. He was entertained with A. D. Lindsay, Vice-Chancellor of the University and Master of Balliol College, and, while here, received the degree of Doctor of Civil Laws at a simple ceremony attended only by fifty Oxford faculty members. He also spent a weekend at Emanuel College Cambridge, of which he is a Fellow by virtue of his Presidency of Harvard.
Speech to Yardlings
His first official appearance will come Thursday evening when he eats at the Union with the Class of 1940. No special formalities will be gone through, and the speech which he makes after the meal will be merely a short address of welcome.
