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.
