The Abbots' party, including two Japanese bishops and two clergymen, will inspect Harvard's department of Far Eastern Languages today and will be entertained at lunch at the Harvard Faculty Club by Professor Serge Elisseff, head of the department.

Abbot Otani is chief of the East Hog Won-Jt Buddhist Sector of Japan, which embraces six million members.
