5:30PM ANNUAL MEETING ADJOURNMENT

Guest Tour:Botanical Museum ofHarvard UniversityMONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13

S ince the 1880’s the Botanical Museum of Harvard

University has been the showplace of the unique

“GARDEN IN GLASS.” True to life glass models of over

700 plant species have inspired reactions ranging from

amazed admiration to disbelief. The accuracy of their forms

corroborated by botanists, attests to the artistic and scientific

skill of their creators, Leopold Blaschkka and his son Rudolf.

Their family, originally from Venice, included numerous artistic

technicians who had, through many generations, developed

great proficiency in the working of glass, enamel and metals.

Rudolf, who died childless in May of 1939, was the last of the

line. He never engaged helpers or apprentices, and therefore the present collection of

plant models is an irreplaceable monument to the principle of consummate

craftsmanship.

In addition to being a popular attraction, the glass flowers collection serves as a useful

adjunct to the study of botany and is regularly used for that purpose by the students of

Harvard, Radcliffe, and other colleges in the Boston area. Following the tour, the

participants will have time to browse in Harvard Square, the most eclectic shopping area

in the city. Lunch will be served at Sandrine’s, an upscale French bistro in Harvard

Square.

Participants will depart the Seaport Hotel by bus at 9:30 am and return to the hotel at

2:30 pm. Registration for the tour must be made in advance and should be indicated on

the registration form on page 13. The cost is $120 and includes lunch.

Reception,Dinner &EntertainmentMONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13

A nnual Meeting registrants and their paid guests are invited to spend an evening

at THE WANG CENTER, in the fashionable theatre district of downtown Boston.

Opened in 1925, “The Met,” as it was originally named, was hailed as a

magnificent movie “cathedral,” reminiscent of the splendor of a Louis XIV palace and

was considered historically the most important Boston landmark of “the Roaring Twenties.”

Rivaled by few other theaters in the world, its glittering crystal chandeliers and imposing

columns and doorways of imported marble formed an elegant setting for thousands of

patrons who came to be entertained by motion pictures, big bands and vaudeville.

Following a reception in the Lower Lobby, IPO Annual Meeting attendees will enjoy

dinner in the Grand Lobby, with its one hundred foot ceiling, grand staircase, fifteen-foot

chandeliers and opulent décor.

Entertainment will be provided by the

HARVARD KROKODILOES. Founded at the

Hasty Pudding Club in 1946, the Kroks are

Harvard University’s oldest a cappella

singing group. This ensemble of twelve

undergraduate men has been bringing the

popular music of the American era of the

1920’s, 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s to audiences

across America and around the globe for

more than half a century. Their fine

musicianship and youthful energy combined with their unique blend of snappy

choreography and witty humor has made them crowd-pleasers wherever they roam.

Meeting registrantsand their paid guestswill be transportedby bus from TheSeaport Hotel to theWang Center.
