Importance of Preparedness Parade.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

As has been previously announced, the Harvard Regiment is to march in the Preparedness Parade, in Boston, on Saturday afternoon, May 27. Through the kindness of the Dodge Brothers Automobile Company, a sufficient number of automobiles has been obtained to transport the entire Harvard Regiment to and from the parade. It is thus made possible for members of the Harvard Regiment to return in time for the beginning of the Intercollegiate Meet.

For any member of the Harvard Regiment to be absent from this most important demonstration would, under these circumstances, be inexcusable. A. B. ROOSEVELT '17.   H. AMORY, Jr., '16.
