"Taking inspiration from a similar event at King's College, then-president Nicholas Murray Butler began the event in 1910 for students unable to return home for the holidays." Did "then-president Nicholas Murray Butler" take inspiration, or did you mean that the Yule Log Ceremony does? --Rab2148 06:24, 6 December 2007 (EST)

1960's

Professor Moses Hadas read Clement Moore's 'Twas the Night Before Christmas during the early 1960's. He died in 1966, and was a famed Greek scholar. If my memory serves me correctly, there were no other readings at that time. Moore, of cours, was a 1798 graduate and later faculty member of King's College. Lynn D. Miller, 1966CC
