The beautiful Morgan Memorial building at Hartford will be formally dedicated on Wednesday afternoon, January 19, 1910. Rev. Dr. Francis Goodwin, president of the the trustees of the Wadsworth Atheneum, has been in correspondence with Mr. Morgan and they have found that this date is comvenient for both. Mr. Morgan will be in Hartford and will person- ally present the building to the trus- tees. After that there will be a re- ception given by the trustees for Mr. Morgan and in the evening the build- ing will be thrown open to the pub- lie. The Julius Spencer- Morgan Memo- rial building is the most beautiful de- voted to art in Connecticut, if not in all New England, and is the gift of J. Pierpont Morgan to the city of Hartford, in memory of his distin- guished father, Junius Spencer Mor- gan, who_was for many years a resi- dent of Hartford, where the son, J. Baropess von Romberg pay the ex- penses of the trip to this country. Mr. Morrell is to defray the expenses of’| the return trip. ‘The children are to be back in Berlin before Oct. 1. In his action Morrell asked that the custody of the children be awarded him on the ground that the baroness was not a proper person to have charge of them. He objected to having the boys given a German education, which he said would tend to make them German sub- jects. He desired the children to be given an American education.
