...Eliot called at the White House this morning and the two conferred in the Blue Room. It is understood that the Embassy to the Court of St. James was officially tendered to President Eliot and that he was given time to consider it. The expectation is that he will accept the post and will not enter upon the duties before October, for the official change at London is not to be made until then, and possibly not until later.

There was little opposition to the change as the vote shows and while a number of people interested in the Association are not confident that it is the best basis on which to place the Association for good and all, there is no question it will be an improvement, and affairs seem to work out so uncertainly in connection with Memorial that...
